ChevyBoy95 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 The two batteries i have besides my starter are quite large, and I would like to move them to the bed under the tool box in the 10in tall useless space. What could i make it completely water proof with? will have a few 1/0's going in and out.

theTank77 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 why not just put the batteries in your tool box? Quote my build log
ChevyBoy95 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) why not just put the batteries in your tool box? umm... cause i actually use tools in my tool box, i have the factory jack, my craftsman set, ropes, straps, etc. It is FULL. not to mention i dont want to put holes in my tool box. edit: batteries are 9in tall, 13in long, and 7.5in wide Edited July 10, 2012 by ChevyBoy95 Quote Best Score to Date : 160.5 dB Outlaw (47Hz)[4 XM 15's & 2 Taramps Bass 12k's] BL : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/147800-chevyboy95s-4-15s-7krms-wall-1533-db-on-half-power/YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/hitemwiththeflex/
bassface Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 I dont think they would have to be waterproof though, they are batterys, they are made to withstand the engine compartment. Quote

I actually used mine too before i put in my rollbar. i found this battery box but its a half inch taller than what you can fit. thats the only one I've found that is close without just building your own.

ChevyBoy95 Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Posted July 10, 2012 I dont think they would have to be waterproof though, they are batterys, they are made to withstand the engine compartment. it is the wires and such that i dont want ridiculous amounts of moisture to get to. I was thinking a MDF box coated with a bed liner style material or covered in resin. If course matched later, rubber grommets etc. Just wondering if anyone has done one or seen one. And getting a bed cover is out of the question.

HunterJohnson Posted July 10, 2012 Report Posted July 10, 2012 You cud buy a battery case such as the shuriken battery cases. Then on the top put a hard plastic cover or plexi on hinges then add rubber/silicone on the sides to seal it but keep the top open so u can still open and close it. Put a latch on the other side and you've got urself a water resistant case Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
