"Here - Hold my Beer"
So one of the subs that works for us is asking us if we can help him set up his new (16) 3.2 200aH battery bank for him ... since he feeds us all the time and we are bored to death out here - we have no issues at all helping him ...
He has a 5th wheel with a compartment in the front where he is currently running 5 AGM batteries ... you can see the front apartment in the picture ...
ANYWAY ...we need to figure out a way of mounting all 16 batteries in there and i am looking for pictures or diagrams of how people have mounted theirs in either their RV or similar configurations .. ...
I am thinking that the best way is going to put all the batteries in a row to distribute the weight best i can against the back wall ...
I am thinking of putting down some of the rubberized padding we have (that we stand on to relief fatigue) and sitting the batteries on that and then just building an open air box/frame around the 16 batteries and call it a day ...or something like that -- any suggestions would help ... I am thinking that i need to stick with wood and not metal since I am not a real "mixing batteries and metal" together type of girl plus trying to avoid additional weight ... and thinking that I could literally make a lightweight frame with some 1x4 or something -- sit it on the padding and then use cargo straps to hold it in place -- OF course with 16 batteries the thing isn't moving and weighs a ton ...
any suggestions would be appreciated
