18.8 Battery
The battery shall be securely fastened down to the car. No Bungee cords or rubber
cords may be used to function as the sole hold down mechanism. An electrically nonconductive material must cover the positive battery terminal. Any battery located inside the driver’s compartment shall be fully covered and firmly secured to the chassis in a marine type battery case. True dry cell batteries may be mounted without a surrounding case. Note- there is a difference between “dry cells” and “gel cells.” Gel cells still need
to be mounted in a case.

 

"Marine Type Case"

Would an "army" ammo box suffice?

 

What type are Hawker/Dynabat batteries?

Also curious as to the type of battery the Braille Batteries are.

 

Case must be non-conductive.

 

Each battery has as Material Safety Data Sheet. Should tell all. Try the website of the manufacturer.

Rats... I guess its good mine is just for a HPDE car. I'll be securely covering all terminals also.
