| This home made solar battery Enclosure is made from, About a sheet and a half of plywood About five, 8 foot 2x2’s Three treated 2x4’s 2 door hinges 1 lifting handle About 12 foot of door jam foam 3 tubes of caulking Lots of wood screws A hot water tank flue to let the fumes out. 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 |
