Subject:      vent for the batter--Q's--why not aux too?
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

What is the shape of the vent hose for the primary battery as it comes out from underneath the van? Mine looks as if it has been cut and opens straight down to the ground, offering extra (COLD!) ventilation for the passenger area. I also have two wires coming out which I think are not stock.

Why is it that the primary battery has a vent and the aux battery compartment does not?

How much off-gassing is there really? If the Aux compartment does not have a vent then why is it necessary to vent the primary compartment?

I have an 87 Westy with an extra vent. Appreciate any speculation/answers. ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>:-) Phillip Bouton (PLEASE NOTE NEW ADDRESS) National Association of County and City Health Officials 1100 17th Street, NW, 2nd Floor Washington, DC 20036 PBouton@naccho.org http://www.naccho.org
