meade916 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 see thats what I was wondering if he was going to cover the outside of the battary box but either way it looks awsome nahh, the batteries are so far up, they wont take on any damage from anything. No need to wrap it in sheet metal. I want to be able to see them if i look up there. If by some CRAZY chance something did hit them hard enough to do damage, i could always get a new one. They will be fine. Ive built, and seen battery racks lower to the ground then this one and they are fine. They arent behind a tire, they are also completely inside the frame rails so they are safe. They probably wont even get that wet, but if they did, no big deal. It wouldnt hurt them.

meade916 Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Went and found a store that is a hardware PARADISE - "Blue Collar Supply" here in SAC...i been there before but its been about 5 years. I forgot how AWESOME that place is! I picked up a bunch of items but here is the important stuff. Ok i have two seperate battery banks that will be in this ride. One with its own buss bars, the other hard wired (due to them being end to end). The second, more thicker set of buss bars will be the main hub that EVERYTHING connects too including the amps and alternators. 1/2" x 2" and 1/4" x 1 1/4" wide also bought ALL Stainless Steel nuts and bolts......you dont wanna be mixing the wrong types of metal together in case you are wondering Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Maxim Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Getting closer and closer every update. Can't wait to see that first test vid. Still a long way to go. All those amps still need to find a home. I'm loving the battery drop box too. Looking good Steve. Keep it coming. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
