Can't see from the pictures, but you mentioned a cooling fan. Is the fan through the exterior of the case to let fresh air in.
And does the fan run constantly whenever the batteries are being charged, or only when at a certain temp?

I'm asking because batteries, even sealed deep cycle batteries, can produce hydrogen gas when charging. If placed inside of a sealed container (or one with extremely poor air movement) it can cause an explosion hazard.
