Rear Strutbar In way of battery??

[MANWHORE]

that's incorrect

You arae allowed to have dry cell. In regards to batteries being sealed, that's also incorrect. These so called "sealed maintenance free batteries" are not sealed. They have a plastic lid. That can just be pulled straight off, and you will see caps underneath it. Hell, they're supposed to be maintenance free, but i just topped up the one in my other car the other day. It's not just mine, i popped down to autobarn and had a look too.

Anyone with a sealed maintenance free batt - i'd be seriously worried, because i have experienced the explosion before. Let me put it this way. It reshaped my boot! Don't buy these dodgy sealed maintenance free batts. Go for a proper dry cell. Like an oddysey, or wrxhoon's batt.

So a completelyy sealed batt can exploded cos the gas buildup cant escape?

Any advantages/disadvantages for going dry cell compared to wet cell?

ok, sorry if i was confusing. What i'm saying, is that those batteries that are called maintenance free are not actually sealed even though they claim they are. I said, pull off the plastic lid, and you'll see caps.

Gas is still released from a maintenance free batt. This builds up in your boot + spark = aftermarket boot retrimming in charcoal & a nice alteration in boot shape (boom).

Adv of dry cell - no explosions, no spilt acid all over boot, no rust due to spilt acid, lots of power for the size.

dis - slightly heavier

thx... my orig pitstop battery has a hose coming out of the side and it plugs into the boot floor just beside the battery tray. this is to direct dangerous gas outside the boot area...
