I get large 2 volt cells 230 to 250 pounds each and then connect them all together in a custom made case lined with glass board (shower stall liner)
Most of the places I have to put them you could not put in a steel cased battery it just would not be physically possible Picture 12 cells @ 230 # off the truck to the dock off the dock to the boat off the boat to the dock and up 16 steps that are 10 to 12” tall then a run 100 yards uphill to the power building ? Can’t do any of that with a steel cased battery ! Can hardly do it with single sells. I don’t know if you can get HUPS uncased or not? Then assemble them on site ? I don’t generally put them directly on the floor, I want some space under them but the case bottom is well supported Just some thoughts Bob ellison > On Apr 4, 2019, at 12:50 AM, William Miller <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ray: > > I am setting the batteries up off the floor for these reasons: > > 1.
