I threw mine in the rear, I also have one of those mini dry cell batteries. I suppose it might fit upfront now, but i dunno we shall see if i keep it back there. i just don;t like the fact of ppl knowing my battery is back there.

 

those arent actually dry cell batteries per se, they're still lead-acid batteries afaik.



just technically classified non spillable sealed batteries, if you notice on the odyssey (SP?) web site they say "drycell (tm)" .... marketing.

 

yeah i know thats why ur still supposed to ventilate them, and ofcourse i bought a ******* box that isn't.

 

you don't have to ventilate the sealed ones, at least not the odyssey ones... it's in the documentation provided with the one i bought.



it's sealed and they say something about 'internal ventilation'



but it's not supposed to emit anything, leak fluid or gas... safe to use inside your car, or in say a UPS for your computers.
