More Battery Charging

[John Ploegert]

I am not a diver but have a new rental house in North Central Florida's cave diving country I am setting up to accommodate cave divers so any advice will be appreciated. Getting ready to install a battery charging bench and need to know how large it should be to have enough room for all of the chargers and batteries 4 typical cave divers might want to charge at one time. Also, can the same bench be used for any equipment set-up or repair they might need to do, and will a plywood work surface be satisfactory for both purposes?

Not a cave diver, nor do I play one on TV but I would suggest a double plywood top with a good marine urethane finish. It would be durable and stand the test of time.

At least two outlets per diver, maybe 3. This allows lights and scooters to be charged. I doubt most cave divers will want or need to charge more than two scooters and one light each.

Plywood is ok I guess, but I personally hate when the edges start to splinter and get rough. If you can finish it in a way that prevents that, then go for it. A good light is certainly a must, though.

Please pm me your details, you might have a customer when you're finished
