Because of the weight of the sets of batteries I want to be able to lower them without fear. A tray for each set of 3 or 4, hinged at the front end of the tray. I have found them for less but the packaging was weak. Mine came through ok though. I don't plan to work out an engine compartment setup since that space is already needed for TDI installations and won't work with waterboxer 2.1 with A/C either.
