[PSUBS-MAILIST] venting batteries

[hank pronk]

Steve, 
I am thinking interior of the hull.  Gamma has interior batteries sealed in a box.  There is an air system to purge the box after charging.  When I was reading the daily service reports, I read about an instance where the box had an explosion due to a faulty cable connection.  I was thinking of going one step further and drilling in vent tubes in the sealed caps to carry the hydrogen away.  I am not sure if this is a good idea or not, seems simple and effective.

Hank, in this scenario are the batteries interior to the hull or exterior in pods?

Does anyone have an opinion on drilling in vent tubes  to each battery, and seal off the original vent holes.   Run the vent tubes to a manifold and purg.  Keep the vent tubes going up hill all the way.
