I decided to just put them in the back of the hull instead. I borrowed the batteries from Elementary 3000, they are lead acid in a fibreglass box, flooded with oil with a bladder top. To my mind they are safe because they are flooded with oil. At the same time, are they dangerous because they are flooded with oil. I can's see why they are dangerous, but at the same time, I know people talk about the danger of oil in a sub. I am not sure why? I don't want to invest in AGM batteries yet because I am not totally confident I will be happy with the range. I think I might need a diesel engine. I have worked out the diesel engine idea but it is a 10K investment. That is why I want to give batteries a try first. </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487606663234_2865">What to do?</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487606663234_2865">Hank</div></div></body></html>
