[RE-wrenches] Battery Racks

[William Miller]

Kirpal:

We have custom built racks for 8D batteries and smaller.  We have done this 
only for VRLA batteries.  We used uni-strut.

Finding trays, servicing flooded batteries up high or below in the dark and 
lifting batteries are all daunting considerations.  If you can solve these 
and you can obtain engineering, then building in-house may be possible.

Brainstorming here:  Could one install a trolley lift?  How about custom, 
fiberglass lined plywood trays?

Good luck.
