TORKLIFT A-7710RS Battery Box Install

[RoyB]

Looking at adding small Extruded Aluminum Vent strips on each side of the two cable holes shown below to give more ventilation for battery gassing. I will be mounting four each batteries in the box

I will have to cut small slots in the Battery Box wall in-line with the two round cable holes. I will also be mounting a PVC Electrical Box with three 1/2-inch Cable holes on the back side around the two cable cable holes..

Have looked high and low for these kinds of vents with ATTWOOD Venturi Boat Vents. They are however too long. I need something 2-inch wide and 6-7 Inches long. I have found some stamped out stainless steel covers but would rather have the Extruded Aluminum pieces...

PERKO has these flat Stamped Stainless steel panels that are about 9-inches wide that should fit.

Just curious if anyone has something different to use...

Thanks popeyemth - I just didn't see much of any vents to the outside... Guess there is more holes that I think... Does yours have two holes for cables or just one...

Mine has room for five batteries so I am thinking to have the exact middle of the box as free space... Otherwise it messes up with my battery cable lengths...

I've got 4 six volts in mine and never had a need for more vents,no help but you might rethink ??
