Are battery gases harmful?
 

I just moved my battery to the trunk the other day and I was talkin to this guy and he says that batteries give off harmful and explosive gases. He said I need to get a sealed box with a drain hose routed outside the car. I've seen boxes that come with those hoses but didn't know if it was bullshit or not. Anyone?

well that sucks, I just bought a damn box that doesn't seal and doesn't have a vent tube and its sitting in my crx. Now I gotta buy another one or custom make one.

Re:Are battery gases harmful?

Aren't the optima yellow top batteries a good alternative when you relocate your battery inside the vehicle? Maybe you should check them out before you buy another battery box :-\

Re:Are battery gases harmful?
 

mines in teh car with no box and i'm not dead... then again i ride with the windows down 95% of the time

Re:Are battery gases harmful?
 

You won't get Herpes per se, but it'll hurt just as much as Herpes... Just think about it.

Battery = SOME STRONG ASS ACID
STRONG ASS ACID + PENIS (OR ----- WHATEVER YOU HAVE) => BIG ASS PAIN IN THE GROIN!

Re:Are battery gases harmful?
 

WTF will it give u like a disease or something or just make you deathly ill

Re:Are battery gases harmful?

cancer isnt usually quick....

Re:Are battery gases harmful?
 

Haha. just get a sealed battery.

BTW, can someone explain to me the benefits of relocating the battery to the back on a FWD car. ??? I thought you would want the weight up front for traction, or is this to try to distribute the weigth more evenly? ???
