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

Nice car davedave.
I'm doing the same relocation on mine, and my solution is an odyssey battery, since it doesn't give off any fumes at all and doesn't need to be vented or anything, plus being smaller it will be easier to fit into the front.
I had the impression that the fumes are supposed to be vented to outside, even if the fumes wouldn't find their way to the passengers - as someone mentioned above, supposedly hydrodgen fumes from the battery would ignite if there was a spark.
Anyone know where to get heavy duty insulated battery cable for the positive terminal relocation?
