I want to make a base for my EVE 280 ah cells and side plates to compress them somewhat,
Base - instead of a piece of plywood I want to use a piece of 6061 Aluminum stock, and then have 2 straps and be able to the 4 cell battery like a big IKEA bag [along with my 80's boom box on my shoulder)
1/4 inch 6061 will be strong enough? 3/16 and then 1/2 inch (latter is heavy)
how about the side plates?
FYI: I plan on putting insulating layer inbetween the cells and the aluminum.
