Battery Tray
I worked on some drawings for a battery tray for the rear fuel tank area and am now confident about getting 6 in there. I’d suggest buying a sample of the battery you plan to use for actual dimensions. I have a lot more room than I thought based on the online dimensions. It’s easier to visual when you’ve seen the actual battery too. Heavier though.
Some other factors based on having the actual battery:
- Depending on the terminals the height may be greater
- I’m not sure how much clearance should be provided between the terminals and the metal frame, is there a potential (ha) for arcing, even if covered in plastic?
- May provide more room to mount the batteries sideways, I’ll layout both options and mockup with wood
Maybe pics or scans of layout tomorrow.
