Hi. I purchased a UB1250 12v, 5Ah, SLA deep cycle battery. I intended to use it inside of a 5 liter mini-keg to power an 12v amplifier, as well as some 5v accessories (Bluetooth audio receiver & occasional phone charging). I just noticed that it says on the battery "do not charge in a sealed container". Can anyone explain this to me? My "sealed container" is roughly 6x the size of the battery... is this going to be a problem? This is my container:



Thanks for your time and advice,

I'm finally getting back to the project. This certainly isn't air tight, but is probably still considered "enclosed". I could easily drill a few vent holes in the bottom if necessary. Any advice would be appreciated.. thanks!
