Dave,
The AGMS's are valve-regulated (one way valves) and should be vented similar to standard lead acid. The batteries need to be immobilized one way or another, in all directions, but not necessarily in a battery box (lead acid needs a tray or acid-proof box to catch spilled electrolyte). Terminals need to be protected against short circuit for any battery. And please don't connect anything larger than 6AWG with wing nuts!

Does anyone forgo them as a result of this characteristic or do people still use battery boxes just because or for other reasons (please note reason)?
