[PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery boxes

I expect that is the case. Bladders are easy and, as I said, the acrylic lets you keep an eye directly on the batteries.

OK, so it's an acrylic bubble not a diaphragm.
How do they compensate that?
Is there a hose in to it from a bladder?

Look at the box top--a slight bubble shape of acrylic with the vent valve right in the center--the same as used on the JSLs on a different scale. Thanks for sharing that.

Years ago, the R/V Calypso pulled into Miami.  Jacques Cousteau and Albert Falco were not on board because they were attending the funeral of Philippe Cousteau in Portugal.  I was able to go aboard and take some photos, including Cousteau's submersible, the Soucoup.  Two of the covers had been removed, so I was able to get photos of their battery box, and their hydraulic propulsion pump.
 
I'm not sure what everything is, but it may benefit the discussion here.
