Now I need to pull it, clean up the welds, decide if pulleys are needed and send off to powder coating

White or black?

Wow... that looks like some awesome riding... I may take you up on that if I make it out that way.... Thanks.

Lol on the parking. I use to do similar except soft sand instead of snow.

I picked up some batteries yesterday, Image
They are in good condition being in a years service as a part of a hospital a lot up lot of 120 batteries. All hit fully charged in about 8 min each battery.


Need some battery box options. I don’t have tongue space ( I tend to run real close to bumper and trailer when backing up into the yard)

What options have you guys used or liked?

I was thinking a under the trailer option or under the kitchen cabinets but.. that’s kinda tight on space or soon to be.

Pictures welcome

I Built a spot for my 4 golf cart batteries in the closet floor and extending under dinette seat. I vented mine with a fan that comes on when converter is running.

Do those batteries out gas? Maybe not vent needed?

Nor sure where you are located


Flboy I can’t see a vent on them, they appear to be a sealed unit.

I like the idea of under a cabinet or closet my only issue is I didn’t think of a closet lol In design and plan. I didn’t think about that at all.

Maybe I need to do a little review of bed options. Iv got sleeping for six In the works but no cloths storage lol

Big Dave, Howdy;

From reading the side of the battery that you provided, it states that you should
NOT charge it in a gas tight container. I'd take that to mean it needs some sort of vent.

Good catch!! So does a simple air vent hose? Half inch pipe work or what would we consider vent?
