Subject:safety of aux battery location
From:Mark McCulley
Date:Thu, 23 Oct 1997 09:03:57 -0700

I'm considering adding a second aux battery in the compartment under the
rear bench seat. This is where I have my Propex heater installed (I would
build a "shelf" over the Propex). Seems that this could be dangerous though,
with the possibility of igniting the hydrogen released by the battery. The
sealed gel-technology batteries aren't supposed to release much hydrogen, so
maybe I'm being overly paranoid. Opinions?
