Battery Box vent
- Thread starter CYQK
- Start date
A small hole in the top of the box and loose openings where the cables enter. The primary gas, Hydrogen is lighter than air and dissipates quickly given half a chance.
What i was thinking was venting to the cockpit area wanna take the hydrogen and acid fumes out of the engine compartment
Will a vertically oriented duct work OK?

Yes, but I think it is over kill. So long as the hydrogen has a way out of the box, it is not an issue, it dissipates too quickly and there isn't enough hydrogen to cause an explosion outside of the battery.
Something like the condensing battery caps might be an easier solution. https://doyleshamrock.com/product/water-miser-battery-caps/
