So the gist seems to be:
Plastic will not be a good barrier to leaked battery acid.
Don't store anything airtight.
Reduce moisture.
So here's the follow up. The storage unit is climate controlled so humidity should not be an issue. However, is the suggestion to use silica desiccants for general storage, or to put inside a ziplock baggy to seal up with the battery? I'm not sure I understand e vacuum sealed issue ... Isn't oxygen the active catalyst to corrosion? Wouldn't depleting 02 actually inhibit corrosion?
I currently have the batteries in tupperwear-like plastic tubs. My assumption was that the plastic was thick enough to contain an acid leak. what is the alternative? Glass? Metal just seems like I'm asking for reactive trouble ...
Now the lead-acid battery from the Portable is a different story, assuming any corrosion will be similar to a car battery. So does the same advice apply?
