Hi Morris. Thanks for the comments.
I understand what you’re saying, and yes, ideally, I would mount the battery in an encapsulated box in my trunk. That is what I was initially considering…. but had to reject the idea because of the unrealistic intrusion in the available trunk space.
As I see it, the environment under the hood is somewhat challenging anyway for a battery, with extreme heat and the presence of a high pressure fuel system.
In the trunk, there’s an absence of high temperatures. Yes, there’s fuel, but not under pressure. Both trunk and under hood areas are at risk in collision conditions.
Cheers,
Glen
