Jay, A couple of things. There is a source for the Surrette/Rolls as 2 volt cells in a single poly enclosure as opposed to the double, four volt cells. Contact me off list. We have been using these cells for more than 13 years in the Caribbean with great results. We do use ventilated battery boxes and do try as much as possible to recess them at least partially into the ground (usually limestone, but can be air hammered out)and as much as possible on the north wall of the building.
