�I got
the 20 AGMs as a matched but used set as scrap from an AVS electric bus
battery pack.

and you have it bunded - ie it is in your cellar.

Acids eat through concrete, its not very effective bunding.


BTW, I have a book here dating from the 20s that instructs one on building
"pasteless batteries" using a process a bit more sophisticated but similar to
that guy's. this one involves several plates, separated by cedar wood spacers
and formed into battery plates by hooking an Edison lamp in series with the
110 volt DC lighting service. the Edison lamps were what? 4 watts or
something like that? Forming took several weeks according to the book.

why charge it that way when you can charge it by putting it in
service. Charging from dc mains via a lamp is also unsafe & grossly
inefficient.

Why use multiple flat plates when you can use sheet and bend it round.
Think.
