#7: Re: battery box question Author: Parkerspug, Location: PlymouthPosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:07 pm ---- box will just look better than the orginal one when its sprayed up!! having engine cover done at the same time
if its for water i will drill a drainage hole in the bottom!
#8: Re: battery box question Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Apr 26, 2012 2:16 pm ---- Why would water get inside the battery box? The pipe is there to cool the battery.
Is it a good idea to put the battery inside a metal box?

Not if the car rolls-over, (touch wood).
Might be good to put some insulating material to the inside of the top-lid.
unless the road is total flat otherwise you will need some insulator or strap to stop the battery from moving...
