Message	You don't have a trunk - you have an open cabin w. a hatch. Batteries vent, even "sealed" ones. They put off fumes, they can leak etc. Plastic boxes don't change that. Catch cans are useless you are better off rerouting the PCV system per Woody's write ups, and it will yield better results. If you have to have room in that spot consider running a smaller battery sideways.
