Ok i removed my rear seats and am plannin on puttin a carpeted board back there to mount my nitrous bottle to. I also wanted to mount the battery there too with a nice polished hold down. My question is if i get a sealed optima battery does it need to be vented? i read that u need to vent the battery when u relocate it. Im not sure y u need to do this, any help would be much appreciated! thanks!

 

You need to have a vent because a normal car battery gives off toxic gases. Strange, I know. Maybe try to contact Optima on whether you need to have it vented or not.

 

yea thats what i thought about the normal ones givin off gases i just wasnt sure about the sealed optima ones

 

That is part of the reason why to legally relocate a battery it must be in a sealed box. You can buy a battery relocation kit from summit or jegs.

 

yeah i think thats what im gunna do i just thought it would look nice with a polished hold down where the back seat used to be ...... ohwell though to the spare tire well it goes.
