Allan,

I would 'think' about making a slip-over case of 'Glass cloth' and a resin that is resistant to the battery acid. You would have to make a mold for that 'part'. You could then clean the sides of the battery, pick it up, clean the bottom and place it in its' new little prophylactic. I'd make a bunch ... slip one one any or all ... safe sex in the battery house. No '30 minute' setting time needed.

They could be spot bonded on with the proper adhesive.

I tried to email this but your address is dead ... or at least the one I have is dead ...

Hi Ron yes that was one of my ideas but I have little experience with fiberglass beyond stators and the odd tank repair so I was having trouble getting my head around how I was going to make said mould.

I tried fiberglass resin and matting on the base of one and ended up with such a mess I had to sand it all off, only had the battery on its side not upsidedown.
