Do you need a special battery for the 2003 G500??? Because the battery is inside?
 
Do you need a special seal battery for a 2003 G500??? Because the battery is inside the cabin? (It is on the floor right below the feet of the center rear passenger).

I read somewhere that you should never charge a battery in an enclose space because a changing battery emits hydrogen and they are worry about explosion.

Do I need to worry about this in the G for both explosion and health reason. Or as long as it fits and the right amperage it is a go. I think the G size is the same size as my ML 163 and size H8.

Also what is the official part number and specification for a 2003 G500 battery is it the same as the ML 163

thanks

If there is no vent (or vent tube) on the battery you need to use an AGM battery. I think it stands for absorbed gas mat or some such as that. It will not have a vent nor removable caps.

In about a gazillion old beetles, the battery was/is about 6" beneath your bum under the back seat.

The epc shows the battery is vented out the bottom of the vehicle

I have a 2001 and the battery is in the trunk area. It is not any type of special battery.
