August,
That's a nice enclosure in your attached photo, of a box that I have
never seen before. Can you provide a manufacturer and website or
other access, please?

Bill,
Off
the shelf plastic tool boxes also work, we’ve used those in
the past. You wouldn’t necessarily need to build a wood box
around the plastic tool box(es) since they will hold up on
their own. It all goes back to the size and number of
batteries that you need and whether you can find a box that
has appropriate dimensions. You’ve probably already
considered this option, but I thought I’d mention it anyway.
See attached pic as an example.
Best,
August

Yes, I'm curious about sealing
laps, joints, corners, etc also. I've seen the PVC shower
pan material...we'll see if its wide enough for our
application, I always banked on about 3" up the side of a
battery box would hold many gallons of acid. Benn, I did a
search on this in the Wrench archives and someone mentioned
the spray liner would soften (and then fail?) over time when
exposed to acid.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Acid containment
How would you deal with a seam that
happens to lay within the containment area? Do you
seal/adhere it somehow? With what? Or do you find that
you can get the liner sheets large enough that you just
'stuff it in' (for lack of a better term), and then in the
corners do you just double it over to make a tight fit? Or
make cuts in the corners...?
Bill,
We have lined plywood boxes with either EPDM roofing
membrane or vinyl pond liner, depending on local
availability, and both have worked well. Being a
flexible sheet, it is folded up the sides and stapled
above the containment zone.

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
