Batteries in the passenger cabin need to be in a sealed box and vented to the outside. If the battery is in the trunk then it doesn’t need the box because its already sealed off from the passenger cabin > > In my crx i have a sealed box with a vent, they always bust my balls for not having a cut off switch but end up letting me run anyways How did you miss the giant picture of the rule book??? LOL Battery CAN NOT be in the cabin, at all. Your foam back seat is NOT a firewall. Behind those seats its not a continuous, uninterrupted sheet of steel/aluminum, aka a firewall. So it needs to be in a box. Also its not just a “drop it in a box and go” deal. The battery box has to be bolted down. and the battery in it has to be bolted to the box. Lastly this “sealed” battery stuff has nothing to do with any of this. Sealed, serviceable, gell cell, or a massive pack of RC car batteries could be used… none of that has anything to do with the rules. > [@Car \> 14 Bicyclists minus 1](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/car-14-bicyclists-minus-1/49583/2): > > :number1 --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lvd-tech-w-sealed-battery-in-trunk/263749)._
