Maybe I'm mistaken, but don't batteries vent acidic fumes?

 

Acidic fumes,sitting over gas tank, corrosion on posts, need I say anymore.
But if you are intent on having the battery in your living room, why don't you consider installing a jumper quik connect similar to what is on a tow truck or some pickups.

 

well i didnt realize they made one that fit the teg....u just saved me alot of work

 

true with a conventional battery but with say a optima or any other gel cell battery or completely sealed unit u dont have this issue...obviously bc its a sealed unit

 

I am running a optima battery.

No fumes, no corrosive...all good...

oh yeah, and it starts right up!
