He now knows that his current battery set up is a hazard.

If he is involved in an accident or causes any type of personal injury as a result of not installing the proper battery in a proper/safe location, he is now liable and negligent.

He can be sued by anyone that suffers a loss or injury as a result of his negligence. Now, when he goes to make an insurance claim for an accident or injury, you can bet your life that his insurance will reject his claim as a result of his known safety hazard.

Come to think of it, what does your insurance company have say about your in cabin non-sealed battery that is also not vented out?

Just be safe and do it right. The price difference between a sealed and non sealed battery just isn't worth the potential tragedy that may result.

If people won't hesitate to sue insurance companies, what makes you think they won't sue back.

Apparently you don't understand liability and negligence issues.

The key word in your sentance was "luck."

Do it right.

Go sealed or put it in the bed in the proper vented enclosure.

I bet his auto insurance would drop him like a hot poker if they knew about his non-gel battery inside the truck. Just wait until it's the cause of an accident. They won't cover anything.

He would likely be sued for negligence.

All the more reason I keep telling him to move it to the bed of his truck :D

and it could still blow up from vibration and many other things.
