Apart from that its very nice and would of been tempted to make an offer but bought something else as i needed a car desperately at the time
I have always thought this too that it has to be in a sealed box with ventilation to the outside... Not sure if its general rules or if its race car rules...
They are sealed cells. They are not the same as your normal car battery. Being exposed as they are is fine however really they shouldn't be used for a car as they aren't designed for deep cycle. They have however, stood up to the job spot on!
