McNichols Corp, among others, deals in pultruded fiberglass
extrusions, including various grids. Pultruded fiberglass is
strong and acid resistant. It comes in just about any shape that
you can get in steel, including sheets, C-channel, angle, and
I-beam. I've even seen pultruded bolts to put it all together.
I've never had the opportunity to use it in a battery box but it
seems like the right stuff.</font></p>
