James,
A double fillet weld is correct . The battery pods are only being "attached" to the outside and are not a critical pressure boundary weld.
Just make sure you have a continuous weld all the way around to avoid any water from infiltrating in between the the flat bar and the pressure hull.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery Pods Weld
Hi All,
Im going to attach my battery pods this afternoon. The plans show 1/4 inch double fillet as opposed to a full penetration weld. Is that right? What have other people done with those fittings?
Its certainly a lot easier to do a double fillet but i just want to make sure its right.
Thanks
James
