I don't want to seem alarmist, but I remember reading about a Solar and 
Electric 500 in the early 1990s, when James Worden of Solectria had to be 
flown to hospital via med-evac after his car's zinc bromine battery 
developed a leak.  They had to stop the race and clear the track.  Something 
like a dozen other people also ended up going to hospital (though not by 
chopper) for treatment. 

That may be why they're not certified for mobile use.  Zinc bromine fumes 
are wicked stuff.  You want to be VERY careful with those batteries.
