Joe -
You won't be sorry that you got this battery.
I do have holes in the bottom of my box, but don't have time to post pictures. Also, I store my battery & box in the garage between trips so there's another reason why holes on the top aren't much of an issue for me.
If I were you I would get the box that DD J has (& posted above) as it doesn't have holes in the lid & looks like it works with the B&D lock. Nice find DD J!
