Chev Sprint info
I bought a 1990 Chev sprint sight unseen a couple of years ago and discovered that, at least in Saskatchewan, 'batteries' are understood to be lead-acid and are treated that way, even if you are using Lithiums. The frame was pretty rusty anyway so I never did get it back on the road.
So in order to put ANY batteries inside the cabin (it's a hatchback) I needed to build a battery box that is sealed well enough to avoid hydrogen and oxygen from the lead-acid charging cycle entering the cabin. So the vehicle inspector wanted a top-vent that sloped upward to where it exited the car, or a power-vented box that had a fan that would not ignite the hydrogen/oxygen mixture, to push the gases outside the cabin.
It may be worth your while to check into any battery location restrictions in BC. A lot of the Ford Festivas were hatchbacks.
