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. Kent Osterberg Blue Mountain Solar Joel Davidson wrote: 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: http://www.toolboxes4less.com/titan-packer-storage-chest-310000.html Looks almost ideal. I'll let you know how it works.

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!
