Battery in trunk

[rx7vert 10+ year member]

I just want to make sure its ok to have a standard battery in the trunk. not a dry cell, just a regular old battery.

just want to make sure I'm not gonna get like nose hair cancer or something from it. i know they put off a few chemicals, but is it any risk to me driving the car? I have it in a battery box, but its not a sealed one, so it doesn't really do much except protect from spills.

anyone?

it wont spill, unless you flip your car over

you should be fine, especially in the trunk. if you want, you can seal the battery box and run a 1/2 heater hose from the box to through the trunk floor. this will vent any gasses outside the vehicle.
