Rule 26-506 Ventilation requirements for vented lead acid batteries ...
There are two types of lead acid batteries: vented (known as "flooded" or "wet cells") and valve regulated batteries (VRLA, known as "sealed"). The vented cell batteries release hydrogen continuously during charging while the VRLA batteries release hydrogen only when overheated and/or overcharged. The vented cell batteries emit approximately 60 times more hydrogen …
