Re: 1949 Chevy with S10 swap. Beginner build with ambition!

I wouldnt run a battery inside without a box and a vent (or a sealed battery like an optima), a charging battery will put off hydrogen and since I like to put other stuff behind the seat like electronic components, the risk is too great. you can use a regular box and vent it right out the bottom. be sure to use two vents so there is a place for air to come in.


edit: I said hydrogen was heavier than air but thats (obviously) not true, I was thinking of acetylene
