    i think it has to vent to the outside of the vehicle and must be in a "battery box" or something like that! i could be wrong though! :)

    If its a dry cell(racing battery) you can install it anywhere(under your seat!) as it does not vent fumes, which is the main reason RTA dont like batteries in the boot non vented(boxed)....tho the Lotus Escort has the battery in the boot not boxed up, just some amo if your pulled over

    mk2 Escorts fitted with factory air conditioning had the battery factory fitted in the boot(drivers side wheel well),no venting as far as Im aware ,I had 2 stock rally packs with A/C and this set up.

    I was questioned by a few policing officers several years ago about this and explained this is Escorts a/c configuration and they were happy with that.
