hmmm - a CO with sealed batts?  cool, i guess.  i used to work for a LEC
(rural and not exactly on the cutting edge however) and all the lead/acids
they had were classic huge glass 'jars' as you say, but all relatively
open-air, with the big bottle of acid and protective gear on the wall for
maintenance. hmmm again... makes me wonder how safe it was back in the
step-switch days when sparks had to be flying everywhere...
