[PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery pod

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

 Rick, an idea I touted ages ago was to wire the submarines batteries in to the house as a solar / wind power storage bank. This might justify buying more expensive batteries. They may even pay for themselves in time. Instead of being used 1% of the time they are utilized 100% of the time. Alan Alan

 Thanks for all your help and ideas. I have a call out to a company in Arizona called Battery guys so hopefully they will be able to set me up with an AGM battery that will be a bit shorter to be able to pass by the all thread. Rick

Rick, another thing I notice is that the posts/wingnuts of the battery terminals seem awful close to the top of the pod. If these were to touch the pod it would be an issue. I found things bounce around more than I would have guessed when trailering. Maybe another reason to look for a shorter battery form?
I am not sure how many amp hours your design needs. Most of us design for the max we can fit but in reality you might be able to get away with less.
Good luck!
