I too saw that these were AGMS. The only time excess H venting happens is with severe over voltage for a period of time. How often will this happen? Have any battery wrenches experienced high volume venting of AGM’s? Our experience: There is no NEC requirements for mobile installations. We have

We do what we can to seal the enclosure so if or when a battery fails and really gasses off the two vents on the same wall regardless of wind direction will vent the gas. If it is not sealed then the gas can travel through out the area this is not advised. On Oct 28, 2014 4:06 PM, "Ray Walters" wr

That's an interesting idea, but all the failed designs they illustrate don't show the way we usually do it. We don't even bother with an inlet, as most battery boxes have enough gap around the door to provide intake air, then the exhaust comes off the top with several feet of rise to prevent b

Hello Wrenches, A client wants to use a passive battery venting method with a heat exchanger to the outside for his bank of Full River AGM batteries. Below is a link to one site that recommends this method. Has anyone used this method? http://
