 Hi Vance and Adam. 
Could either of you tell me what is the purpose of 
isolating the batteries from each other into seperate compartments? 
 
I was thinking about what the reasons could be and 
I could only come up with two possibilities.  Is it 
because, if there 
was a leak in one specific spot on the main box, 
that only one battery would be contaminated by sea water leakage 
and only form enough chlorine gas as one battery could make? Is another reason to contain any 
hydrogen gas formation 
in seperate compartments for some reason? That 
wouldn't seem to make sense though because if one compartment  
exploded and the others were seperate but 
contaminated with hydrogen, they probably would rupture from the explosion and 
blow up 
also. Or is it some kind of structural 
reinforcement thing? You are talking about a battery box inside the sub's 
interior not outside it 
correct? 
Thanks, 
Bill Akins
