That's mighty expensive for a standard .50 cal ammo can. The going rate is generally around $20 for them. They're too small, anyway. A 20 mm can would fit, as Chris suggests, but they're much too tall. And yes any battery enclosure needs to be vented for safety, although with careful charging a battery should never lose water and therefore should never vent gasses.
I still like the old caterpillar battery box idea best, if you can scrounge one up.
