Battery Installation                                                    12/17/2009

Battery location is a matter for Authenticity, not Tech Inspection. Batteries must be secured properly with metal bolting to the body of the vehicle with a metal holding strap. No rubber, nylon or plastic strapping allowed. Hot terminals should be properly protected. No duct tape.

 

In some cases it may be necessary to relocate the battery due to a conflict with other safety requirements (location of the fuel cell, for example). Batteries located in the passenger compartment must be properly secured. The diagram below provides one method, but not the only method, of achieving a technically acceptable installation. There are affordable aftermarket suppliers of battery mounting equipment for sealed and vented batteries for racing applications. Sealed batteries do not require encasement in a container. Vented lead acid batteries must be in an encased container approved for the application. Venting of non-sealed batteries must be to the outside of the vehicle.

For any battery located in the passenger compartment, a minimum of 5/16 inch grade 5 bolts or all-thread that extends from the top strap of 14ga steel or 12ga aluminum, through the floor though large reinforcing (fender) washers. Angle frame around the base of the battery to be a minimum of 14ga steel or 12ga aluminum. No rubber, nylon or plastic allowed as a method of securing the battery in the vehicle. Vehicles with fiberglass as the only structure to secure the battery in the passenger compartment must have reinforcement to the chassis, to prevent pull through in the event of an incident.
