Multiquip 20696 STX/HTX Battery Box

The Multiquip 20696 STX/HTX Battery Box is a genuine OEM component designed for HTX44 and STX55 series hydrostatic ride-on power trowels. This factory-sourced enclosure provides a secure, correctly positioned housing for the battery on compatible machines, ensuring the electrical system remains properly protected during demanding finishing operations. Confirmed fitment includes the HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, STX55J6, STX55Y6, STXD6i, and HTXD6i models. Sourced directly from Multiquip, part number 20696 is the correct OEM replacement when the original box is cracked, missing, or damaged.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Enclosure Integrity — Manufactured to the same structural specification as the original, ensuring the battery seats and mounts exactly as intended on the machine.
• Direct-Fit Replacement — Mounts in the factory location with existing hardware, requiring no drilling, trimming, or bracket modifications to install.
• Broad HTX/STX Series Coverage — Fits HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, STX55J6, STX55Y6, STXD6i, and HTXD6i hydrostatic ride-on trowels.
• Battery Protection on the Pour — A properly fitted battery box shields the battery from concrete slurry, vibration, and jobsite impact — a damaged or absent box exposes the battery to conditions that can cause premature failure or electrical faults.
• Electrical System Safety — Correct containment of the battery prevents movement and unintended contact with surrounding components, reducing the risk of short circuits on high-vibration trowel equipment.

The battery box on a ride-on power trowel serves as the protective housing that keeps the machine's battery securely mounted and isolated from the harsh environment of a concrete finishing operation. Without a sound enclosure, the battery is vulnerable to physical damage from vibration, moisture intrusion from wet concrete, and contact with adjacent components. A cracked or deteriorated battery box can lead to intermittent electrical faults, unexpected shutdowns, or battery damage — all of which interrupt finishing work at a critical stage when timing is everything.
