Kirpal, Allen, Dana, Benn
Yes, I'm curious about sealing laps, joints, corners, etc also. I've
seen the PVC shower pan material...we'll see if its wide enough for our
application, I always banked on about 3" up the side of a battery box would
hold many gallons of acid. Benn, I did a search on this in the Wrench
archives and someone mentioned the spray liner would soften (and then fail?)
over time when exposed to acid.

Allan,
How would you deal with a seam that happens to lay within the containment
area? Do you seal/adhere it somehow? With what? Or do you find that you can
get the liner sheets large enough that you just 'stuff it in' (for lack of a
better term), and then in the corners do you just double it over to make a
tight fit? Or make cuts in the corners...?
Thanks,

Bill,
We have lined plywood boxes with either EPDM roofing membrane or vinyl pond
liner, depending on local availability, and both have worked well. Being a
flexible sheet, it is folded up the sides and stapled above the containment
zone.

Fellow Wrenches,
I just called Tap Plastics hoping they would solve my problem of
battery acid containment within a plywood battery box. I was surprised by
their response that the acrylic was not impervious to acid and polyethylene
would not work because sealants nor caulking adhere to it properly. They did
not have anything that would work.
I've used those individual battery boxes from an auto parts store
(~$12/each) but they take up more space than just the batteries. Has anyone
ever used ice dam underpayment, like Grace? Better idea?
Thanks for any advice,
Bill
