The gases that come out of a vented lead/acid battery during charging often contain a fine mist of sulphuric acid. Take care to avoid breathing these fumes, and wear suitable eye protection. Valve regulated (‘maintenance free’) batteries are much less likely to release hydrogen than vented batteries.
The compartment must be clean and dry for long-term storage of Valve Regulated Lead-Acid batteries with an ambient temperature between 0 and 30 °C . Acid-collecting tubes must be installed under valve-regulated and vented batteries . All vented batteries must be equipped with ceramic vent plugs .
Lead-acid vented batteries have a two volt nominal cell voltage. Batteries are constructed so that individual cells cannot be removed. Occasional addition of water is required to replace water loss due to overcharging in normal service. Batteries that become fully discharged may not accept recharge.
Lead-acid batteries can only undergo a set number of discharge/recharge cycles before the chemistry is depleted. Once the chemistry is depleted, the cells fail and the battery must be replaced. Service and maintenance of the batteries is critical to the reliability and the battery life.
It is common knowledge that lead-acid batteries release hydrogen gas that can be potentially explosive. The battery rooms must be adequately ventilated to prohibit the build-up of hydrogen gas. During normal operations, off gassing of the batteries is relatively small.
Vented Lead-acid Batteries are commonly called “flooded” or “wet cell” batteries. These have thick lead-based plates that are flooded in an acid electrolyte. The electrolyte during charging emits hydrogen through the vents provided in the battery. This reduces the water level and therefore periodic addition of distilled water is required.
For the longest time I have known that lead-acid batteries used/stored within a living space e.g. RV/Caravan/Residential etc should be stored in a air-tight, sealed battery box …
