Well, there's a lot of good to say about plywood. It's non conductive,
extremely strong, flexible, won't corrode, won't melt, easy to work
with, relatively light. It burns and rots are it's two drawbacks. You
might not have a rot problem any more since, I think, you are moving
away from lead.
That was basically my reasoning too...
I'm not sure if the rotting I saw was from acid escaping / water leaks
from refilling the battery, or if it was from environmental water
getting in. If the former, things should be better, if not, it is cheap
to replace every so often....
Since I'm using plywood for the end plates to compress my leaf modules,
I decided that having a non-flammable battery box liner wasn't really
worth paying extra for. I figure the cells themselves are the major fuel
source, and if something does happen, the extra fuel from the plywood
isn't going to matter....
