I'm aware of the fact that inverters and open batteries in the same compartment are a no-no due to the battery gases creating a potential fire hazard.
I currently have 4 6v GC2 batteries in the front compartment in a vented battery box. If I make sure to fully seal the box, would mounting the inverter within this compartment be acceptable? I'm attempting to keep the wiring run as short as possible, plus I have quite a bit of free space in the front generator/battery compartment.
Thoughts?
It's not just the fire hazard issue, but those gases will make toast of that inverter due to corrosion in short order. Find a less hostile environment for that expensive inverter.
