*nod* I would agree; the key is to keep the moisture away from the 
steel. Second reason is to keep the acid away from the steel if 
possible; that is why I think the bags plus battery tray did the job.

Right now my BB600's are in there without bags; I wonder if their KaOH 
is neutralizing the battery acid that was in the steel. If so I wonder 
if they will corrode the steel eventually as well.
