Functioning of central venting

NOTE:
  • Batteries of the latest generation are fitted with central venting.
  • The gas occurring during the charging, emerges centrally through an opening on the upper cover side. The backfire protection is integrated into the same position which prevents the ignition of the combustible gas present in the battery.
  • In batteries with hose/pipe for the central venting, ensure that the hose is not disconnected. Only then can the battery freely de-gas.
  • In batteries without a hose/pipe for the central venting, ensure that the opening is not blocked on the upper cover side of the battery.
