Can you get caps from scrap batteries and seal them with with
silicone? Use these as plugs.

Esteemed Wrenches;
Hopefully Ronald from Trojan can help me here, or maybe someone else
has done this.
In my recent remote Northern BC install, we have a pair of T-105s at
a remote location, installed in a plastic cooler. They will need to
be moved to the central Lodge install for winter maintenance
charging, as their installed location gets *zero* sun for 3 months
of the winter.
The lodge staff will be moving the cooler via
helicopter....*hopefully* on the back seat, but it may be part of a
long-line sling load. They have had some pretty harrowing sling load
work this year, including a broken skid on the helo and some trees
that got a 'haircut.' I can almost guarantee that had the batteries
been on that load, they would have lost some electrolyte from tipping.
My question is -- are "shipping caps" with *no vent holes*
available? Or could we use plastic baggies? I hate the idea of the
lodge staff accidentally getting bits of plastic bag into the cells.
