is this moroso sealed box the only one legal in hatchbacks?

 

I think its also the only "safe" one because its sealed and vented to the outside.

Check your sanctioning bodies' rules regarding re-location.


but FWIW, I had 10 deep cycle batteries in the trunk of my 84 olds before.. I never had "fume problems".

 

It depends on the sanctioning body..

I know that Moroso box is NHRA legal, and Taylor makes a legal box as well..

but again, it depends on the sanctioning body.

 

i should be more specific then: for SCCA (solo2). i've seen coupes/sedans use the typical cheap "marine" style boxes. i have emailed SCCA about hatchbacks specifically. i'll post when i find out what the word is.

I was surprised at how big that box is... you could fit two or three civic batteries inside of it.

 

damn.... seriously? that big? is there anything smaller that is still this sealed style?

 

dooode you had hydros?????

went from hittn' switches to hitt'n tracks, good turn around

 

Do you even need a box if you get a sealed, gel-cel battery? Many times you do not, not sure about SCCA Solo.

 

I have this box. It's not that big. It'd fit one Civic battery with lots of leftover room, but I doubt two would fit. Perfect size for my big battery. But hey volts are volts and CCAs are CCAs so use whatever battery you want.

Edit:

very good question, but i think the box also serves as protection in case the battery leaks or is broken in a crash. it will keep everything contained
