NHRA/IHRA Approved Battery Box for the trunk?


What do I need to put the battery in my trunk and have it pass tech? I have the 25 feet of brand new 2 gauge battery wire, and a brand new optima, im all set to throw it in the trunk minus a box...what does it have to be to pass tech in the back of a hatchback? i already know about the cut off switch, what else does the box have to be like? im not down with spending 120 bucks on one from summit, so whats a better solution!!??

im pretty shore with an optima aka a sealed battery all you need is a secured battery hold down but with a normal batt you need a sealed box with a vent tube ran outside the car

I believe Dan(quik88) is correct. I don't have an Optima, but if you want to swing by my house and see how I did mine-give me a call Pat.
