Absolutely!

 

nice battery box!!!!

 

Should put a patent on it Joe..

 

Question here, what (if anything) do you plan to do about corrosion control inside of there?
In hot weather, electrolyte will evaporate, and may get to everything inside the box.

Overflow could also raise Cain, and bare metal, or even painted might not be enough.

Is Rhino-Coating an option?

How can it be made to last as long as possible, even if it gets parked for months at a time?

 

Other than physically checking the electrolyte level, I hadn't really given it much thought. I do have a plastic liner under the batteries, as well as a couple of drain holes.

As for tending to the water level, I have a battery hydrometer to keep spillage to a minimum.

 

Guess what? You're a STAR!

I just began the index thread, it will be updated as we have new stuff to list

What you've done so far is more than enough to make us PROUD Buddy!!!!


I don't myself know quite what to suggest, except that fiberglass wouldn't be a thing I would use.
~Something somehow "RUBBERLIKE" that would bond to the metal, maybe. But rubber can crack.

I keep thinking about the kinds of materials used to form interior and exterior automotive body panels - most of them are thermo-plastics that have a melting point above 400 degrees F.

But I don't see how they could be applied.

Polyethylene is the most common one used to mold battery cases - it has a melting point of 248 F.
~It's a "THERMOPLASTIC" which means you can work it with heat.

There is a book out by Kurt Lammon, simply titled "How to Repair Plastic Body Panels" that is a must have, in my opinion.

It's where I got that info from

I got it because I wanted to know more about how to repair bumper covers, and it turned out I could do all kinds of things with a GUN type soldering iron that had a "SPREADER TIP"

 

We have the same pair of golf cart batteries, just discovered the previous owner secured them with one piece of plywood(after inadequate floor support cracked) and I'm seeing the ground looking straight down, guess he didnt take too many trips after that stellar repair job-may use your ideas to secure ours,...dont want to see them in the rearview mirror tumbling off the highway.
