I've noticed all the pics feature liquid batteries, so is them fuming not a concern of ya'lls?
Is getting battery acid fumes in your cabin DIW? or is it a non-issue?
will be relocating another one soon, so if no one has had serious fume poisoning I'd like to save some money haha

It absolutely is DIW. Use a metal or acrylic box with a top that uses a gasket to seal. If the fasteners that attach the battery also have to go through the box and into the car, find a way to seal that too, using another gasket, RTV, etc. Also, use something that seals the wires coming out of the box. It is nice to have thumb screws and/or wing nuts to remove/install the top. Then run a line (also sealed) to let out somewhere on the underside of the trunk, sort of like those cabin air pressure flap things. In fact, those flaps that lift under increased pressure, would be just the thing to use so you don't get a bunch of outside shit up in there. Either that or some sort of line with a check valve. Even with a "sealed" battery, this is a good idea, and most definitely with one that isn't.

I personally find a relocation to be completely pointless in 9 out of 10 cars though. When you run more wire, you add more weight, and introduce more points where the wire could rub, be damaged, or otherwise fail. You also tend to need a higher guage wire to run it farther. Unless you are taking huge measures to count every single ounce on your car in every way you can, it is pretty much pointless, and using a lightweight battery in the stock location is a better option.

No, you dolt. There's a difference between this idiot and getting in a racecar knowing you may not get out but knowing all of your safety equipment is proper and has been examined, and if you crash and die, it won't be because of carelessness. I'm a little ignorant on 240's here but did I see that right before? Was that tie down hooked to a piece of plastic, and the plastic was then attached to the trunk sheet metal? On my Nissan, the battery sits on a plastic tray but the tie down hooks to SHEET METAL, which has some capability to bend before it breaks, and greatly reduces the chances that the battery will go flying in a crash. It isn't that he failed to go out there with some super shock proof battery attachment that can survive a bomb strike, falling off a bridge, slamming into a wall at 200mph, etc. He want out with some haggard, ghetto rigged piece of shit "safety device" that was lesser than OEM quality because he's a swaggot that doesn't bother to properly research the shit he is doing, and that is the ultimate definition of DIW.

Does reading this thread make anyone else wish they would get hit in the face by a flying battery? Or is it just me?

.

Doing it cuz fender tubs, but yes it is an unnecessary mod most of the time.
on the one i did before, i cut a black garden hose(usually on that is already messed up, so it isnt a waste of good hose), and then ran the + battery wire through the hose to help prevent it from rubbing on stuff. If the hose is black it looks less shitty

Fucking scene dork. I'm at a loss of words over how much of an idiot you are. Your entire existence should be in the DIW thread.

If any text in this thread is more then 5 lines deep, its typically not worth reading.

Here, have piece of shit car to cleanse your DIW pallet.

[BoostyMcZface]

Go to any real race event and try to pass a car through tech. Shits there for a reason. Calling someone a pussy cause they expect shit running around them to be safe, is dumb as fuck. Nasa, scca, VARA, nhra, etc all have strict safety standards for a reason. Get your shitbox half ass build off the track if you can't follow basic safety standards and pass a real tech inspection. It's all fun and games til someone gets hurt or killed.

why are subs not allowed on the track? Looks like it was more secure than the battery.

^^^Dammit, watched that whole video waiting to see Sonic & Knuckles dodging quick release batteries. #fail.

[Matej]

Anyway, back to quick release batteries and this Jake fellow and milking this incident despite it having stopped being funny days ago:

1. The track should designate that corner a 'Flying Battery Zone' and put up joke warning signs and stuff.
2. At the next Final Bout event, they should have a contest to see who can make their battery fly the furthest. Possibly hit targets.
3. Quick Release would be a cool team name. Is it taken? If you use it, please Paypal me for the intellectual property rights.
