I bet I don't have room for a 1/4 inch 'Battery Mat' in my box.
But I think a guy could take a tube of silicone sealant and a putty spatula
and spread a smooth thin layer over the bottom and sides that would protect
the metal.
I still keep hoping that someone will find a sealed battery that will fit in
that starter battery box.
