[RE-wrenches] Battery Boxes?

[August Goers]

Maybe this is a better deal? I already ordered the Titan model so I'm going
to see how that works. Best, August

August,

You might also consider the Contico Pro Tuff Bin.  $85 from Grainger.
http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1RG71
It also holds four L-16 batteries.  You do have to keep the cables short and
low though.

Hi August,



That's it.
http://www.nulime.com/titan-packer-45-polyethylene-storage-chest/p261914 also
sells it for less.



Is $213.08 with shipping included a good price for a store-bought enclosure
for 4 each L16s?

Joel - I think this is the tool box you mentioned:

Looks almost ideal. I'll let you know how it works. Best, August

We build our own boxes using a cement board like 4x8 sheets of Hardi
Board--fireproof, strong enough , with appropriate bracing, to take the
inevitable ' stuff ' that gets piled on top of boxes in garages,etc. If you
need acid resistance, coat the inside with an epoxy paint, like garage floor
paint. But for GTWB, it's mostly AGM's.

Hi Wrenches -



We're seeing more and more interest in grid tied battery backup systems in
the Bay Area. Anyway, I'm finding that off the shelf battery boxes are quite
expensive - the products from MidNite Solar, DPW, etc are all really nice
but super pricey.



Any recommendations on battery boxes? We've been using L16 AGM batteries but
we might be going to a different size and shape. Any recommendations on
favorite batteries is also appreciated.



I hope you're all enjoying solar high season!



Best,



August
