Alistair noted that you shouldn't mount the battery over the elevator
cables because of possible leakage. GEL CEL BATTERIES DO LEAK11 I have
a gel cel mounted on the firewall inside the cabin on the right side
over the rudder cable return spring. I was still in the first taxi
stage, having had the battery sitting a long time during the final
stages of construction, and I guess it couldn't take the long periods of
low charge or just sitting. Anyway it developed a leak and corroded the
return spring. NOT A GOOD THING (tm)

So now like you I always check for leaks as part of my Daily.

inside of and vent the box.....Brian
