Re: [EVDL] Fw: Re: best battery racks
I'm new to battey box building, having just bought a truck to convert, and
having only thought about what to build them out of.
I was tentitively planning on using angle iron (cheap, actually swapped 4
steel rims for what I think should be enough heavy 2" angle)
to build the boxes, and using a product called Omega bond, its used for
making cheap aluminum signs (Its 2 sheets of Alu. and a composite rubber
center, either with or without flutes, it cuts and drills very easy) to
line the inside of the boxes, probably sealing with some sort of caulking
(and venting with PVC pipe/fans)
Hopefully this would create some sort of barrier between the batteries and
iron, and ensure I'm venting gasses only where I want to.
