I bought the battery around july 2014 brand new and because i did not drive my car for a period of one and a half months it went completely flat.
Car battery venting gas.
Does my car battery emit hydrogen sulfide gas when charging or just hydrogen gas.
The old battery did not have a vent tube connection the new battery came with some vent tube accessories a 90 degree elbow and a flat plug.
This is why you need to add water to wet flooded type non sealed lead acid batteries.
Water is oxidized at the negative anode.
B insert plug into the non vent tube port.
C a press fit should be used to properly secure the vent plug into the battery to ensure proper seating into the vent port.
When a lead acid battery cell blows or becomes incapable of being charged properly the amount of hydrogen produced can increase catastrophically.
I tried charging it with my 3 stage charger which did not seem to work there was a constant rapid flicker of.
A vent system or other means shall be provided to permit the discharge from the boat of hydrogen gas released by the battery.
Note to 10 7 9 and 10 7 10.
2 h 2 o liquid o 2 gas 4 h aqueous 4e.
Never plug both vent ports.
10 7 10 battery boxes whose cover forms a pocket over the battery shall be vented at the uppermost portion of the cover.
What will be expelled is hydrogen gas and you want to vent that as it is quite explosive.
D re install battery and affix vent tube to the open vent port.
Your new batteries are equipped with check valves that are engineered to open at between 2 3 psi depending upon the specific brand.
