Or see Passive Battery Venting

The Solar Battery Box Base Is made
placed on the bottom of the box in a way,
so the ends of each battery are being
supported by a board. Then runner
boards are put on to keep the box
stable and not allow it to deform.

has been caulked to keep the fumes
in the battery box so they can follow up
the flue out of the building. Fumes from a
bank of batteries can get pretty thick and
would ignite if they caught a spark from
pretty much anything. With solar power
you will have a source for ignition in the
power inverter or the charge controller.

You can see the 3/8 inch of door jam
foam around where the lid closes to make
sure battery box has a great seal. This
makes the lid of the box stand up a little
higher then the back of the box where the
flue hooks on so a small spacer will be
needed to raise the hinges so the lid will
shut correctly. See the first picture to see
the added spacers. Note that the flue end
of the box is 1 inch taller then the other
end.

Ahhhh,, Nice!

Look how they fit, Almost like I had planed
it or something.

Now I have my battery box and bragging
rights. "smiles"

Note: I found this type of venting
cools the batteries in cold weather.
By pulling a draft of cold air in the
bottom as warmer air goes out the
top. If you are in a cold climate see
the battery venting page
