Can you get caps from scrap batteries and seal them with with
silicone? Use these as plugs. <br><br>

Hopefully Ronald from Trojan can help me here, or maybe someone else has
done this.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
