Subject:      vented vs not vented batteries
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

hey all.  maybe this was covered before (if so, could
someone point me to the right place in the archive?),
but im wondering what the difference is between vented
and unvented batteries.

i assume the standard primary battery on westies is
unvented, meaning it doesnt need venting to the
outside world.  is this right?

from what i can figure, a battery needing venting
discharges some gases during charging.  what are the
source of those gases, and why do it this way instead
of not having gases discharge?

anyhow,
rock on listees.
