    Edmond,

    Besides Joe's appropriate warnings regarding listing issues from placing
    that much weight on one side of the boat, I would examine the charger's or
    inverter's overheat fan location. You might want to plan to install your
    charging source so that it's fan exhausts in the direction of any grating or
    louvers you install.

    I'd be more concerned about putting that much weight up high in the boat and
    probably offset to one side. Aside from the weight, the movement at that
    level in rough seas could be substantial. Be sure to tie them down securely
    lest you have catapulting batteries in the saloon.

    I'm planning a house bank of 2000AH (10- AGM Northstar NSB210) batteries in
    a box under a settee in the saloon of a 52' trawler. Would a continuous
    louvered opening at the top of one side of the box into the saloon be
    adequate ventilation or do I need a special blower and overboard discharge?
