Rule Interpretation - battery cover for oddessy battery


Hey all according to GR25 (below) all batteries must be covered.  Does this include oddessy and other sealed batteries?  Isnt an oddessy battery already effectively covered???



GR 25 BATTERY AND BATTERY MARKER

The battery must be securely attached to the body or chassis and effectively covered so as to prevent spillage,

even in the case of inversion.

There shall be attached to the coachwork a 150mm blue triangle marker indicating the location of the

battery.

A battery isolation switch shall be fitted to all cars which effectively isolates all electrical circuits from the

battery and stops the engine.

It shall be located in an area where it is capable of being operated by the seated driver and co-driver. Where

the switch is not readily accessible from outside, an external switch or remote operating device (eg, pull cable)

shall be located in the vicinity of the base of the driver side A pillar. The position of this switch shall be marked

clearly by a symbol showing a red spark in a white-edged blue triangle on the exterior of the vehicle.

a sealed battery is coverd to prevent spillage ,
also , all wet betterys have to be vented to the outside of the
passenger compartment , ( only if located on the inside )

i was informed that a sealed battery had to have the positive terminal coverd to prevent arking ,

this is what i was told by a scrutineer in WA
hope it helps
