View MoreToday, while we are waiting for support so we can get the remainder of the items in and finish, the heating elements that we earlier attached to the battery cells and install the temperature control. Earlier we had installed the temp controller for the cooling exhaust system so we will be working off the same premise of its installation and more less discuss how we wired it up and show it works with a glass of ice water.

The case we decided with, for its height and room was the Dewalt tough chest 38in 63 Gal. Mobile tool chest. So far the container has proven to be ample for this project. As cutting is hard, this box is made out of Polypropylene but definitely sturdy it also posed a situation that found trying to adhere anything to it just did not want to stick. I tried numerous different products even those that claim to work. Ha, even tried flex glue the first time and it just peeled off easily after it was cured. However, I finally tried one last product and it seems to be promising. It's holding and even when cured doesn't budge.
Amazing stuff but a bit pricey, however it works and that is a game changer. After using it inside and our of the component I wanted adhered to the case inside and out I retried Fles Glue and it seems to be adhering as well for a small back stop to help keep it stationary.
First, we used a cotton swab and dipped it into the primer and soaked the area we wanted to stick to the case and the other side as well. It dries very quickly and after a minute or so we were ready to add the glue which was a bit thicker than the others, not by much but the velocity was definitely thicker and applied sparingly on The one side and pressed really hard for 30 seconds. It stayed, but not really to test yet so I beaded a small bead if glue on the inside opposite from where I adhered to. It is definitely not thick enough to build upon but seemed to work. So, just to test this out -- it seems to work nicely so far I decided to administer a small bead of the flex glue on the inside. It held nicely.
After 24 hours it all seems to be doing a fine job. I don't think I would try banging it out of the case with a hammer but it is stationary with some push to it.
Since so many containers are made out of Polypropylene you may find this handy information.
The Primer is quite hard to find in stock, the only place I found was an online vendor named Digikey

As we wrote each post we briefly talked about safety issues and the inherited risk of injury or accidents working with electricity and its components. Here we will be a bit more specific and engaged on safety handling.
When working with electrical components there are a few rules that you should always take into account.
1) wear safety glasses. Believe it or not a simple spark can expel tiny bits of metal and these could get into your eyes.
2) Always take any rings or jewelry you wear on your hands.
3) do not wear dangling necklaces make of metal that can easily, accidentally cause a short.
4) Always know where a ABC Fire extinguisher is and keep it close by.
5) Always disconnect the battery before working on live components. Our projects, if followed all have a master on/off switch make sure it is off. It is also best to disconnect one of the battery terminals and make sure you isolate the loose terminal end by wrapping in plastic ect so it will not short out. The second is a must do if no master switch is in existence.
6) if you did not add a master switch to turn off the power and you are adding or exchanging a inverter connect one to the battery and take the other and place inline a ceramic resister and hold it to the battery for a minute or two. These inverters usually have large capacitors that if not pre-charged will cause a spark. Most of the time no harm will occur to the inverter or battery but it could damage it. It really will make you jump however, and as like we said if not wearing safety glasses it could thrust small pieces of metal into your eyes.
7) When using metal tools, such as screw drivers make sure you insulate the majority of the metal before you start using it inside the component and wire area. Take some electrical tape and wrap the stem of the screw driver, for example to insulate it from shorting out. All it will take is a small error, a slip of the screwdriver blade to have an accidental shorting of a connection. Once again, best scenario is to disconnect the power before working on the project.
😎 in our projects we have always tried to be sure to use color coding of our wire. Black for negative and red for positive. Pay attention if using a volt or amp meter that you do not cause a short. Always touch the red probe to a red wire or connection as well as the black probe to the negative connection.
9) Depending on battery chemistry, always work in a dry cool place. If using a lead acid battery do not dump it upside down because the acid and chemicals inside could spill out and cause skin burns or hurt your eyes if not wearing safety glasses.
10) If you remember several years ago when lithium batteries were exploding -- sometimes for no apparent reason. If a fire does happen or you see smoke move away quickly and be prepared with a fire extinguisher. Do not go back to it until you are absolutely sure that it is extinguished.
11) If using a drill always make sure the chuck is tightened adequately. Never put your fingers into the wire strippers or wire cutters, they are sharp and could cause injury. If using wire strippers always wear safety glasses as well since the tiny piece of insulation could or will go flying and usually it contains tiny fragments of loose cut wire.
I have no doubt that I will be adding more to this list as time goes by
