Finally nearing completion of the battery enclosure
Almost ready to install the batteries

Spent several days cutting fitting the plywood covers for the battery enclosure. The thing needs to be air tight so I can vent the fumes with a blower. I built the thing so there is room for air to pass between the batteries, which will hopefully give them better cooling. Still need to make two movable racks for the two sets of 8-6V T105, so I can use them all. Why does everything take so long.
I sprung for a Wagner paint sprayer. The spray gun is powered by a vacuum cleaner type blower which is right in the unit. It works pretty well with thick latex paint that I am using, and wow does it put down some paint when you adjust it for high speed.
