Re: (ET) PVC Battery box liner

[Brad Fayette <brad bfayette com>]

I just folded it so it would line the box.  Used pop rivets to tack it together 
at the top to hold its shape. This is a flexible PVC membrane that is used to 
form a waterfroof barrier under a shower pan.  It comes 5' wide by however many 
feet long you want. Usually, they pour concrete on it to make the pan and then 
put the tile on top of that. It's not exposed in the shower.

I think this is going to work pretty good.  I am tired of corrosion in the 
battery boxes.
