Urgent Help Needed Please! Battery Issue

[DentonR33]

Hey Guys,

I have sold my car to HeathGTST and we are in the process of getting a roadworthy done. Everything on the car has been checked off except for the Battery.

The battery I need has to be a fully sealed and vented battery the same as the standard Nissan item. However there isnt any batterys sold like this in Australia. Vic Roads wont accept just a sealed battery like the one I just bought.

Has anyone got a Standard R33 Battery that is sealed with a venting hose that goes in the hole next to the battery. I need to borrow it for like 1 day and will pay someone to do it.

Or has anyone got any other suggestions of making a sealed box with a hose running out of it?

Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know anyone who does roadworthies that are not complete morons?

Call me if you can help, this is URGENT.

Vicroads sent out a recent buliten to all roadworthy testers stating that any in cabin battery (in the boot is counted as in cabin since its not behind a firewall) needs to be sealed and vented. so the gas it releases can't be ignighted etc..

Can I ask a stupid question? If a battery is sealed, doesn't it follow that there'll be no gas released and hence no need for venting? :confused:

it must be totaly sealed or the top sealed and vented outside .

something like an oddyssey or optima will be fine but they are very expensive .

a while ago i came across some cheap fully sealed betteries and i put up a post for them . i dont know if these are still available but if anyone is interested let me know and i'll find out . they were only $130 for the big ones ( same as oddysey 1200)

the only batteries with sealed top and vent that i know are small jetski batteries but they are to small for cars .
