Re: battery box question
If you flip the car upside down, are battery juices going to pour out and make a mess? If not, ohshit, you have a sealed battery box!
Go grab yourself a sealed battery if you're concerned. Batteries are mentioned in section 3, and therefore are safety items by rule 4.2.1.

Re: battery box question
also remember, even if it is in a box, there must be a metal bracket holding the battery to the floor.

Re: battery box question
Use an AGM battery (Optima yellowtop or redtop or similar). Then you don't have to worry about sealing the box.

Re: battery box question
If you are going to put the battery in the cockpit use a AGM battery for God's sake! Still have a scare from a AGM type Formula Ford accident 1987 It still can happen!
