Rebuilding an Electric Car Battery Rack

Q: Whats is an Electric Car Battery Rack?


A: Okay, an electric car battery rack, is the place where the batteries are held in the car. Allow me to explain, this car was originally a gasoline fueled car. As you may know, in the back there was a spare tire well. it had enough space to place the batteries, so we removed it. We made the battery rack, than we placed it in the car.

Q: Whats all the white spots on the batteries ?



A: Okay, there was a leak of acid, from one battery. All the white spots that you can see is acid that has leaked. Because it was a large amount of acid, it also roosted and it removed the paint from the rack. We don't know how that happened in a chemical level. 


Q: Whats the next step ?



A: Okay, next was to take out the three batteries,check them for and leakage. The batteries were dirty, Cleaning the batteries was in process.


Q: How did the rack look like ?



A: Okay, when we toke out the batteries, we observed that the rack was dirtier than what we saw. This was the point that we decided to rebuild/reinforce the rack


Q: What did we come up with ?



A: Okay, after brainstorming and thinking, we came up with the idea of building a metal floor for the rack. The metal floor will sustain any damage from the bottom of the batteries.
