Battery box

[anchorout]

Just got home with our new Pod. Couldn't help but notice the battery was held on the front frame member by a strap and a prayer. The only thing missing was a sign, "$100.00 battery, free for the taking".

I needed a secure place to keep two batteries, a selector switch, and maybe room for wheel chocks, hitch locks, etc. I bolted a metal tool box to a new angle iron cross member. I insulated the battery compartment with rubber garage floor tiles (Lowes). I added a divider to secure the batteries and make a second compartment.

I hope the pictures come through.

Fabulous. Make sure you have vent holes, so the batteries can let off those fumes. I did not see any in your pics, or they could be at the back.

A very valid point.
You don't want that lid blowing off with a BOOM when charging.
A drain hole or 3 might also not be a bad idea.

Ditto to Herk and miatared. But nice work none the less.
