Tractorsam,

All the ventilation in the world won't remove a buildup of explosive gases INSIDE the battery, and there's NO way to predict or prevent a crack in a busbar, or joint INSIDE the battery that will spark, and touch off the explosive gases INSIDE the battery.

As another poster said, keeping the electrolyte level to the "full mark" reduces the extra space for gas to build up, and possibly explode.

Every now and then, I get the feeling folks think I'm NUTS (yeah, I know) when I suggest wearing appropriate eye protection when working around batteries. Some of these posts sure make it look like a good idea!
