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. Chill out dude lol, i wasnt logged in and didnt see your pics of the rule book. In my car i have it bolted to the frame with 3/8 bolts in a sealed box so im good, i havent looked at the rule book in a while (that is y i said “i believe”). I know foam seats do not act as a firewall. I was just giving my experience with a battery box without a cutoff, as i said before they have always let me run… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lvd-tech-w-sealed-battery-in-trunk/263749)._
