[TechGeddon]

Anyone with an automotive/electrical background know if i kneed a vented or non-vented battery box?

was looking at this if vented was an option.

Should be vented (vapors) to a tube going out side the car. (venting out of the car).
No that is for boats. at one time that was ok. To be more safe they do not pass them for Drag racing or cross racing.
The one you sow just keeps the fluid in it but vapors vent to the cab of the car you breath them and can start a fire if there just the right amount of air vapors and spark.
If your doing a car system they might be ok, but vapors will still be in the cab of the car.

So if I get that box, and seal it with breather tubes running out of the trunk it should go well.

Now I know its generally straight forward, but does anyone want me to take pictures and post it in the "how-to" section?

why do you want to relocate the battery?

[TechGeddon]

There will eventually be a turbo with more breathing room. And my engine/transmission is about to bite the big one soon. (More space to get at things). As well as a shorter distance wiring setup for my amps

you are doing an engine turbo swap but don't know if you should vent a battery or not?

[TechGeddon]

My friend does turbos. I am more electrical, normally deal with sealed led-acid batteries. The motor currently in the car will be turbo'd. The second motor will be completely rebuilt. Then when the first one gets rough enough it will be swapped, then I work on that one. (A good engine swap rotation, so if anything feels like grenade-ing I have a spare.
