MOT and relocated battery
Does a battery that's been moved to the boot have to be in a box or does it just have to be secure ?
I was planning on unbolting the battery tray and bolting it to the boot floor and securing it using the clampy things but I'm not sure if it will pass the MOT or not....
Any ideas ?
Cheers
James

If its a normal battery i'd seriously look into a box for the long term as they usually need to vent while being charged because of the gas it gives off, means having a hole under the box though so get ya drill out i'm sure some motor sport type peeps will clarify this.

battery security is not a failure believe it or not unless it would be possible for it
to affect other testable item's i'e brakes steering or suspension in any way
although that does not mean it's legal and if a tester think's it's dangerous they
can rufuse to test it.
But for your own safety i would secure it anyway
