Celica_John wrote on Tue, 18 January 2005 20:38 | I'd have to disagree. I remember my mechanic telling me the battery needs to be heaps secure because vibrations can stuff it (first time i heard that so i'm not sure)
anyways my battery is mounted in the boot. I have a bracket underneath the batter which is bolted to the floor. it has two tabs bent perpendicular to the floor with a hole in each end. I got another bracket from the local auto store (everywhere sells em!) that goes over the battery and has two rods with a hook on the end that went through the hole at each end.
I also got a battery that doesn't vent vapours. $130ish from lions batterys - parramatta rd burwood. That way i don't need to stuff around with a hose and it's much safer.
batterys vent hydrogen ->
hydrogen + fuel from surge tank in boot + air + spark from battery = kaAAAAAaaBOOOM! (according to the engineer)
I don't have a strap for the lid of my box but I keep the lid on anyway just incase the battery explodes.

Umm oookkk. Wel if you know that vibrations can stuff the battery, you would also know that no matter what type of battery you have(sealed or other wise), you still need to have it in a vented box.
No if buts or maybes. This is the requirement in all states of Australia. Again, no if buts or maybes.
