As the title says, I was wondering if there's any concerns regarding the battery life or fire hazard if I cover the battery with foam? Should I cut the foam to fit around the battery? I've seen people do both online.

I have some denser, rubber like foam as well as a more fluffy one, looking for deeper sound. TIA!

I always leave the battery with some space around it. You never know when it starts to vent. Also wrapping around battery decreases airflow, I know that the current in this cases is not big and battery should probably never heat up, but I'm just careful with batteries.

Thanks, yeah I was thinking along those lines and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
