Odessey question

[New2RS]

Evening all,
As above, friend of mine is asking if it’s safe to run an odessey non metal jacket battery in his engine bay (black casing I believe, MJ is red?). I told him to relocate it in the car as I have. Is he safe to do it or will the engine temps destroy the battery?
Cheers

Website says the operating temps for a metal case is 80°c and the non metal is 60°c.

Heat cycling batteries is usually pretty bad for them either way. Unless it's being shielded and has external air running round it I'd suggest relocating it.

Thought so mate. Cheers.
