Hello everyone,

I am in the process of making a battery pack for my Halcyon 10w HID (old style). I have sourced all the required parts and now I need to glue the bulkhead (PVC) to the batteries (lead acid PS1229L). This bulkhead (for lack of a better name) also serves as support of a socket for a banana-type plug. I was wondering whether there is a specific type of glue to use for this application.

On a similar note, is there a specific type of glue used for the batteries themselves? The pack is made out of 2 identical ones glued together.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Jorge

PVC cement - plumbers use it for joining together sections of PVC plumbing pipe (it actually melts the PVC allowing you to stick two pieces together.
