Hi guys
This may not be an issue for concern too many of you in warmer, dryer climates.
I'm interested in what you guys do or have considered as a good moisture protection for your cell packs once they are built and in service.
In my part of the UK it's pretty much non stop rain most of the time. And added to this living very close the the sea I also need to contend with damp salt air that tends to rot out anything metal that's outdoors in next to no time.
My powerwall is in a shallow concrete block built battery house, has a plyboard roof covered with bitumen backed torch on roofing felt. https://secondlifestorage.com/showthread.php?tid=5933
It is dry, keeps the rain out and I don't have any problems at the moment. But I have concerns with damp salt air potentially causing corrosion issuses. Has this been a concern for anyone else?
Have any of you considered using a spray on insulation? Maybe something like this liquid tape.

Would it be suitable to coat the entire pack once assembled and mounted including the busbars, fuses, Anderson connectors etc.
Basically everywhere the damp salt air could potentially cause corrosion or verdigris on copper busbars, terminals etc.
