If the battery charger has to be kept seperate from the battery whilst it is charging, yet the charger and battery both need to go in the same locker through neccessity, then (as wizard has kindly informed me) I will need to have a seperate vented battery box kept within the front locker. My queries are:

1) Can you buy purpose made battery boxes (if so how much), and,

2) Do I have to drill holes through the floor of the front locker in order to facilitate the venting of the battery?

3) Could I make my own battery box (I'm skint!!!)?

Hi, tony, I guess you could make your own battery box but it really needs to be acid proof in case of spillages/accidents and Im sure you could buy one complete ,try towsure.Batteries, when charging emit hydrogen gas, not funny when near a spark so keep all electrical gear like chargers separated from a battery on charge, the vent pipe needs to be at the top of any box, not the bottom (preferably top side) hydrogen is lighter than air, let us know how you get on with the batt box thingy regards S/C
