I want to make a wooden box to house 8 * 100AH LiFePo4 cells. Each cell weighs ~2.2KG and their dimensions are 220mm(W) x 118mm(H) x 41mm(D).
I would like some suggestions on the following from people who've already done this.
- Which type of wood is best for this and how thick should it be? Is plywood good?
- Each cell has a depth of about 40mm. So along with 1mm epoxy sheets in between the total space occupied would be ~327mm. To achieve a good amount of compression force how many millimeters shorter should be box be?
- Can the box be tightly sealed or should it have holes for ventilation?
This box will be inside my house and the ambient temperature round the year is between 20-40 degree Celsius.
