Yes mate, it will be vented out the bottom, of the car not in the cabin.

I originally tried to find a sealed battery box. Only ones I could find were for drag racing, made of alloy and about $300 ea.

Why not use a sealed battery in a non-sealed box with the vent tube going out through the floor like BMW's and Merc's. DIN55 or DIN66.

Mine is done like this and have had no problems and would pass a RWC in Vic.
