batteries and "sealed boxes"

Michigan Skip · 11-22-2007, 11:10 AM

According to the IHRA/NHRA rules, do optima type batteries still need to be put in sealed battery boxes? I can't find anything on the subject other than someone on another forum stated that optima type batteries don't need to be in sealed boxes.
Thanks

If the battery location is not separate from the driver's compartment, it MUST be in a sealed box, secured, and vented to the outside of the vehicle.
If there is a firewall or bulkhead, it need not be installed in a sealed box, just secured.
