Andy, I wouldn't put the battery in the cab for safety reasons. If you are
in an accident (heaven forbid), you wouldn't want the acid to get on you.
The battery also puts off a very explosive gas when charging and shouldn't
be in a confined space, like your cab. One more thing, the vapors are very
corrosive and will cause lost of damage to bare metal.
Be safe, don't do it!
