We're looking to improve our battery box construction, and are considering using 1/8" think polypropylene sheeting. I've used small premade boxes before, but this will be for a HUP install, and we would want to build the box around the batteries after. Does anyone have experience/ comments on welding plastic? The alternative would be to just seal the seams with acid resistant caulking. (silicone, Geocell, ?)<br>
I've had good luck in the past just using 10 mil plastic sheeting stapled up on the inside of a plywood box, but we will be scooting 1000 lb batteries around on it, so I don't think the sheeting will hold up.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
