XS Power BATT (D975) "Sealed" Trunk Install - Vapors, Fumes, Etc., ...


Recommended Posts

In the process of getting the above pictured XS Power D975 mounted in the trunk, but, as is

sometimes the case, if you want to be near perfect, a brain fart, & I cannot proceed any further

until I get a firm answer on the following ... Which is followed by the actual link to the Topic I

started here on SMDF to illicit folks' responses somewhat faster, than just with an "Update" on

my Build Log. Sooo, ... here goes:

" :lifevest: Good afternoon, Folks ...

I am sure this is oft-asked, ... but with these AGM batteries, XS' D975 offering in particular, when
mounting in trunk, or any enclosed space for that matter, are vapors, fumes, etc., to be worried
about? Or should I scheme up some sort of vent system of either a fan or filter, or both, ... or are
AGM's different from Flooded BATTs in this regard, & obviously many others? (I would not be asking
this if I have not read somewhere - maybe when I first purchased my D3400, that it was OK to mount
these in many wacky positions ... just NOT upside-down ... & that AGM's nearly give off no toxic-ness.

... & if so, which way does any of the "offending" gasses escape? Up? Heavier than air so they
lay low?

As per my install, I am mounting said BATT terminal side up ... as I, & most would, describe as
'normal' orientation.

Ready to mount BATT right now, but need to know if I should be fabbin' something first.

Thank you ... "

Thank to anyone who chimes in either there or here, or both!

Be well ...

PS: I am taking many photographs of this upgrade! Hopefully it will basically totally address

my issues, & I can turn my attention to other stuff ... on other vehicles!

I don't believe you have to worry about fumes with sealed AMG batteries. Recall I have 6 xp950's in the trunk of mine and there are no fumes or odd smells coming from back there, well aside of the god damn lingering smell of my blown sub. Other than that nothing. lol

Absolutely nothing to worry about with them, regardless of orientation/position

I had my 2 d3100s behind my passanger seat in my tiburon with no issues.

Shouldn't be an issue

The key word here is sealed

Nothing to worry about

Fantastic, Gentleman! Much appreciated.

(I've been out installing it ... with the hopes that I would be OK, but prepared if I needed to combat anything I

may have learned about. I had my phone to see these responses come in, as well as a very nice PM, so I felt good about what I was

doing, ... & I carried on ... now I am indoors on my PC.)

Thanks again.
