My battery is now installed in my van, but I want to add a layer of protection between the terminals and my lid and anything shorting the sides. I was thinking of getting 1/8" plexi and heat bending it as a "hat" over my cell pack and screwed to the wood compression slats. My three questions are:
1) is 1/8" plexi thick enough?
2) is it ok if the terminals touch plexi? Due to tight spaces, my terminal lugs would touch the plexi...(My guess is no as plexi is not electrically conductive)
3) do I just do one big cover, or corden off each bus bar?
Bonus silly question...the BMS (standard jiabaida) doesn't need protection from connective shorting like battery terminals, right?
