Esteemed Wrenches;
Hopefully Ronald from Trojan can help me here, or maybe someone else has
done this.
In my recent remote Northern BC install, we have a pair of T-105s at a
remote location, installed in a plastic cooler. They will need to be
moved to the central Lodge install for winter maintenance charging, as
their installed location gets *zero* sun for 3 months of the winter.
The lodge staff will be moving the cooler via helicopter....*hopefully*
on the back seat, but it may be part of a long-line sling load. They
have had some pretty harrowing sling load work this year, including a
broken skid on the helo and some trees that got a 'haircut.' I can
almost guarantee that had the batteries been on that load, they would
have lost some electrolyte from tipping.
My question is -- are "shipping caps" with *no vent holes* available? Or
could we use plastic baggies? I hate the idea of the lodge staff
accidentally getting bits of plastic bag into the cells.
