For easier access to the controller you can build a little flap for the battery compartment on which you can mount it. It might be a good idea to fix them with a few extra screws because hot glue does not really hold up to sudden shocks, wich can occur if you drop the box (I learned that when I accidentally dropped it while making the final photos ) ). Use a measuring tape to determine the right side and cut 2 fitting pieces out of plexiglas or a different kind of material and hot glue them in place. To keep everything in the right place you need to add a few deviders to the box. The heaviest components should be placed in the center of the box in order to keep the weight balanced. #SOLAR BATTERY BOX DOWNLOAD#I decided to mount most of the components on the right side of the box and went with the templates which you can download here. After you decided where you want to place the switches, the meter and the in- and output sockets, you mark the spots directly on the box or create a few templates and glue them on. The toolbox needs to be prepared in order to fit all of your components. A simple formula to determine the size you need is this one: ( I x L x 0,018 ) / U = A I : the maximum current that will flow through your cables L : the total length of the wires in meters ( in this case from the fuse box to your grounding) U : The maximum Voltage loss you want to have in your wiring ( I recommend 0,5 V) A : the right cross section in mm^2 (for americans there are tables to find the AWG equivalent) If the wires are to thin they overheat and can cause a fire.
