Getting ready for solar

I ordered batteries today, should have them Thursday.  The battery company is giving me core credit on all the old batteries, which turns out to be a very big savings since I'm cashing in 17 batteries and buying 8.

Took lots of pictures in hopes of remembering how to put it all back together.



I had planned on lifting thebatteries straight up and out of the battery box, but it short is I am, it was going to be all upper body strength mostly shoulders, and lifting batteries as high as my head. I didn't get very far with that plan.

So once again stupidity beat out brute force.  I removed 30 odd screws to remove one of the panels from the box, only to find it was glued in place. That is the best built battery box on the planet.  So the stupidity part kicked in and I cut a little doggie door in the box. I could drag each battery to the end of the box through the hole and out to the door of the shed.  By the look of the marks on the floor I wasn't the first one to drag these batteries in and out.

The little trailer is maxed out at 1350 pounds which is just 10 batteries.  I'll have to make two trips down the hill on Thursday to swap these batteries for new ones.
