I am upgrading my old lead acid 6v batteries to lithium and have a couple of questions for our resident experts:
1. I was going to put the 2 new batteries in the same plastic box that the old ones were in, but the new batteries are too long to fit. So now I need to find a way to secure them in the front bay. Do I need a box for them or can they be somehow mounted directly to the floor? And if they are exposed, how can I protect the terminals from accidental shorts?
2. I am installing a new lithium compatible converter. I am going to mount it next to the batteries to reduce voltage drop from the existing long cables. Where should I attach the ground wire in the front bay?
