Making a small cover with access holes sounds like a good idea. Needs a good tight grommet or gland seal because there is lots of dirt and silt thrown up in that area in addition to possible splashing rain water.There are no interlocks or void-warranty labels on the lid(s) such as tesla uses. The only security devices are single Torx screws in each cover. For the access cover you would need a 10mm socket and a Torx 30 for removal. The main lid needs 8mm socket and Torx 25.The small cover just has a rubber gasket and pops right off, but the lid is glued on with a very thin layer of gray-colored sealant that requires the use of an M6 jack screw to break the sealant joint.The access cover would let you get to the main terminal DC buss bars, but there is no voltage on them unless the internal relays in the pack are energized such as when the key is switched to ready. They had no voltage in just the 'acc' or 'on' positions. There is voltage on the buss bars for a couple of minutes after powering off as the condenser bleeds down.
