I don't mind too much that ver1.0 didn't quite fit as it's only cardboard and a couple of hours work. Much better to find out now than after welding up a metal box.It's unfortunate you're day didn't go to plan Ali, but with the fish out the way, you'll have a nice flat area to fit the battery box.
Can I ask, what depth are you allowing for the battery box?
As the back box hangs below the fish tank, this gives a good 12" or more height available for a box.
I don't know what dimension the modules are, but can they be put on their sides, or maybe double stacked within the box confines, simply to maximise the module density within the available?
You're right about the amount of space at the rear however I won't be getting silly with it. I don't want the battery box visible from behind as it's one thing I really dislike, never mind the safety concerns of a heavy battery box hanging down below the rear bumper.
The weight is still on my mind too but having said all that I'm hoping to get another 6 or maybe even 8 large modules in there. I haven't really looked at it yet as I spent so long on the fuel tank box but it should be really useful space.
