Notice how I put the vent holes inside the natural hood that's molded into the back. This should provide a good weather shield to keep any rain out of the box. I was going to drill a bigger hole and then decided that several smaller holes would keep mice out. Not sure if the holes will help with cooling, but I was worried that if the cells vented for any reason, the case is so tight that could rupture violently without some vents. I needed a right angle adapter to drill the holes inside the box.
I used some crafting clay to check the vertical clearance (again, 4mm of foam underneath and 16mm studs) and found that it's mighty tight at only 3mm clearance to the lid. Should be enough...
