Actually, the top is open to the landing gear compt, but the bottom is open to the world. See #ad

Klenger, I've seen your pics and your setup, very nice.



How much venting does this give you?



Was this the battery compartment to start with or was it a modification?

 

[klenger]

This is the standard battery installation. I have no way to measure the venting, but there should be more than enough air flow to vent properly.

Wow Ken that's nice, wish I had that kind of room. My Lance cmaper has them sandwiched together on a tray that slides out. There's some small venting on the side of the door, but nothing like what you have.



Ken, remember that issue I had with my converter. I took it in under warranty, it was the fuses! I felt like such an *****. Turns out they had melted to the plastic and formed a high resistance short, once they heated up they passed nothing. They replaced them and it cost me nothing (other than the 50 bucks in fuel to get it there in back).



So next time, I will do more than just ring a fuse out with my meter. I'm always guilt of over looking the easy stuff and searching for that "big fix" to make it all go away. Learned my lesson on this one.

Thanks Paychk! I want a couple of 105's for my 5er. The 12V Sears Diehard deep cycle, doesn't last that long.....



I may measure to see if T-125's fit. (If the price isn't too high!)
