a mod I did but forgot to post
this one about 2 months ago. I want to upgrade to dual t145 golf cart, so I needed a box. I didn't like the plastic ones, and the aluminum is just to expensive. so I made this from an old toolbox I salvaged. I made up a brake to bend the aluminum, bent up the box then gave a local weld shop $35 bucks to weld it up. With the stainless snaps, aluminum vents, vinyl tubing for edging, and plywood I think I have less than $50 into it.

That is a fantastic mod! I'm curious, are the two vent holes you have enough to vent the gasses completely or am I just being paranoid?

plenty of air..
..will get in there. the lid isn't air tight, although I put a vinyl tube around the top of the box. The vinyl is just for noise.
I just checked and there isn't any moisture inside the box. The batteries have been charging since sunday after a 3 day trip. I would expect moisture present or even the smell of acid if more ventilation is needed.
