321 RSTS Battery Bay Upgrade

[kirkelli]

The warm weather has struck so I decided i need to add to my Lithium Battery Bay and no longer have room with the stock battery compartment which only holds four Battle Born 100A Battery's.. I wanted something to hold 8 batteries. I dismantled the factory box and building a battery compartment in the front storage bay. I wanted something to store the batteries and still have some room for storage. I came up with a plan and went to town building.. This is the early stages of my build. i can easily get the 8 batteries in this configuration. i will update as i go..

Very nice! What are your plans for battery retainers, or keeping them in place? Nice work!

Got the Box completed. It is setup to hold 8 Battleborn 100A Lithiums.. I'll initially be using 6 and will get two more on their next sale. Also installing 6 - 210 W Solar Panels and re-wiring everything. Batteries are accessible from top, front or both as panels are removable. Surprisingly there still is a lot of storage space left in the compartment. Plan to mount solar stuff on back wall above the the box.
