[QUOTE="condor22, post: 599422, member: 1932"] Agreed, but I did say [i]"as safe a place to install it as any." [/i] My van AGM is in a battery box under the dinette seat and in the same area as a 240 VAC charger, solar controller, DC-DC charger, terminal blocks, shunt and fuses. My 4x4 AGM is in a battery box in the rear of the wagon with a DC-DC, solar controller and fridge. But as I have said in other posts - correct wiring, fusing, charging etc etc helps to mitigate risk. For the purposes of Rob's question, I believe my answer is, that it should be ok if done [b]properly[/b]. I had a mantra I used in my working life as a designer - No matter how foolproof you make something, some "idiot" will come along and screw it up. In other words "Foolproof aint Idiot proof." lol. :) [/QUOTE]
