Hi guys, I have two EH holdens near identical to each other the only difference is that one of the sedans has a battery relocated in the boot . After a drive in this Eh their always smells to be a fume smell could it be because the battery is in the boot. Both cars are very well sealed and maintained . Any help much appreciated DO BATTERIES FUME ?
