[Public-List] battery boxes

[Mike Lehman]

Roger,

I just had my boat surveyed this morning. My batteries are Group 27 wet cell 
batteries. The are not in battery boxes, but they are strapped down 
securely. The surveyor told me that because of the location, under the floor 
boards, they are protected as if they were in a battery box, therefore they 
did not need to be in a battery box, but must be secured. Hope this helps. 
BTW, 2 group 27 battery boxes will not fit under the cabin sole of the A30.

Hi Folks,



I have a West Marine (fully sealed) starting battery and an Optima Blue Top
(sealed) gel house battery.  Both have small oval holes on the top for
ventilation.  Does anyone know if regulatory agencies require they be in
battery boxes or do I just have to insure they are securely fastened?  Does
ventilating them to the outside make a difference?



Thanks, Roger 148
