battery relocation question

[roclist@accessconsulting.ca (Jason Adams)]

Someone's been sleeping in class again!.....

That's okay Rhett, Dry/Gell cells are the way to go. They don't require
venting, You can mount them directly to the chassis, or use a box if you
like.
I think C.A.Ron and others have great "How To's" on their Websites...
addresses escape me at the moment.
