Actually that is a pretty good question. Why would they not require a container for a battery that is under the hood. NASA doesn't require the battery in the trunk to be in a container but they do require that the tops of the terminals be covered and allowed me to use duct tape. I never did ask them why even though at the time I thought it was odd but never really gave it much thought.
