We have used the underlayment material to line battery boxes. Turns out
it gets eaten by the acid too, not recommended. Really the best product
I've ever used is just the heavy plastic sheeting to line the inside of
the box. I had batteries crack and leak acid almost 2 inches deep, and
the plastic sheeting held it.
We try to use large plastic tool/ cargo boxes. The auto parts single
boxes are not a good idea for more than a single battery: exposed cables
and jumpers.

Fellow Wrenches,
I just called Tap Plastics hoping they would solve my problem
of battery acid containment within a plywood battery box. I was
surprised by their response that the acrylic was not impervious to
acid and polyethylene would not work because sealants nor caulking
adhere to it properly. They did not have anything that would work.
I've used those individual battery boxes from an auto parts
store (~$12/each) but they take up more space than just the
batteries. Has anyone ever used ice dam underpayment, like Grace?
Better idea?
Thanks for any advice,
Bill
