[RE-wrenches] PSR SCT

Hi Folks,

It's been a long time but when I called in to what was then Trace, the answer I got for cracked spill containment trays was to use green toy army soldiers, like would be in your kid's toy box, to melt and bridge the crack. It worked. However, the trays should not have cracked.

  Hey Todd ? 



  The company we used to make the spill containment trays has been having severe delivery and quality problems for a long time and we unfortunately had to just drop the product.   We had a lot of problems with the plastic being too fragile due to the thin wall thickness used.  It needs a complete redesign and possibly different material.  



  My favorite solution is to use before we offered the spill containment trays was using EPDM type rubber pond liner sheet and just folding the corners (sort of like wrapping a Christmas presents) inside of the enclosure.  The upper edges can be screwed or stapled to the sides to keep it from sliding down ? although if the liner is heavy enough its not really an issue.  



  I hope this helps!

  I was just informed I can no longer get the Outback PSR-SCT (spill containment tray). What are others using in their battery boxes for spill containment?
