Very cool.

I have a few questions though.  It was a little hard to tell from the
pictures... what kind of batteries are those?  Are they US6VGC?

Also... are the batteries in the bed secured down in any way?  (I can
tell the box is secured, but I can't tell if the batteries are
individually secured.  I was also curious about the neoprene cover...
I believe neoprene will melt to the batteries when they get hot, I
would check the melting temp, or test it with a soldering iron.  Since
the batteries have a soft cover... do you have a water drain for the 1
or 2 rain storms we get a year?
