I checked the engineers report the other day and it does say that it needs to be in a sealed box vented to the atmosphere (even tho all i had to do for the engineer to pass me was get a non-venting battery) Does anyone know anything about venting batteries not in the passenger cabin? I read somewhere that batteries must be sealed and vented if not seperated by a firewall. This was just on a battery web site, so I don't want to take it as gospel. Well I'm relocating mine from the engine bay (in the back) to under the bonnet. So I do have a firewall between myself and the battery and the two compartments are sealed off from each other. Now the only problem I can see is that I don't know if under the bonnet is vented to atmosphere at all. So, do you think I need to put it in a sealed box and vent it to atmosphere (so my spare wheel doesn't breath the bad fumes) or would I be OK to just have it clamped down on a custom battery tray? Edit: or have it on a battery tray and remove one of the grommets, so the whole compartment is like a box vented to atmosphere [Updated on: Wed, 16 February 2005 01:29] [Report message to a moderator]
