Thank you both for your replies.

I was considering an ordinary kitchen garbage bag. Just something to trap and redirect the gasses that escape the battery while charging. Then run a hose from the bag to the exterior of the vehicle. I don't intend to do much with the battery, but charge a laptop, cell phone, and maybe run a fan.

Would there be any drawbacks to putting a lead/acid battery in a plastic bag?  I was thinking of running the wires and a hose (for ventilation) out of the bag's opening.  Plastic battery boxes are nice, but a bag would be much more wallet friendly.
