R Rotus8 Member : 07 MS3 Apr 7, 2008 #5 There is a cooling duct from the hood that matches up to the hole in the cover. It will be slightly less effective with the cover off.

C crossbow Member : Mazda 6s Apr 7, 2008 #8 Heat reduces the lifespan of a battery. Providing some airflow over a battery extends its lifespan. At least that was the whole point of the ducting for it.

A AutoXRacer Member Apr 7, 2008 #9 There is also a resistor/heat sink right by the battery that needs that airflow to cool off....
