[PSUBS-MAILIST] battery experiment

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

 Hank, Maybe you could have all the hoses from the caps going in to one manifold that has an oil fill port. And one tube going out the top of the manifold for compensation. You would need an air gap in the top of the manifold so off gassing doesn't force the oil out. How deep is it going to go. While I'm thinking of it, I used baby oil that had some scented additive that caused the battery to off gas. Stopped when I went to pure mineral oil. Alan

 I looked up golf cart batteries & they use both flooded & sealed. I compensated the sealed AGM batteriesfor my ambient, but a bit more complicatedthan wet cel. Alan

 Hank, it could work but it would be easier to make a box out of ply wood & oil fill it & just have 2 through hulls for the wires. If you are having batteries in series you would be creating multiple points where the connecting wires would have to be sealed & could fail. Are they sealed lead acid batteries? Alan

 Okay, your gonna think I am nuts  but I am doing an experiment with lead acid batteries.  I am going to make a new cap that accepts a barbed hose fitting and water tight post enclosures , so I can fill the battery with oil and submerge it without an enclosure (battery pod)The hoses will be coiled and open to the sea.  Do you think it will work?Hank_______________________________________________
