Can someone tell me, or even better post a picture of what should be covering the batteries in my van. At the moment they are covered by pretty (and I don't mean good looking) flimsy pieces of hardboard that a previous owner has screwed down.
Ta muchly.

I have the standard metal one that I have stuck a bit of rubber on the inside to prevent shorting

Thanks for the replies.
Maybe I'll stick with the tacky hardboard as those battery terminals are pretty close to the top of the boxes.
