if you run a sealed battery(optima red top), do you still need to put it in a battery box? thanks

AFAIK, yes, you still have to have a sealed box.

Maybe one day this rule will be appended since sealed "gel-type" batteries, like the Optima, are becoming more popular. Since there is no way for vapors to be produced, it makes no sense to require a sealed box for these type batteries.

To be legal it needs to be in a battery box with a vent <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
