Do sealed car batteries need to be vented?
Beside this, do sealed batteries need ventilation?
A VRLA battery (valve-regulated lead–acid battery), more commonly known as a sealed battery or maintenance free battery, is a type of lead-acid rechargeable battery. Due to their construction, they do not require ventilation, can be mounted in any orientation, and do not require constant maintenance.
Also to know is, what happens if you don't vent a battery?
You have a major fire hazard or even an explosion in your boot, as while lead acid batteries are being "used" they release toxic and flammable gasses. Also the gasses could/will leak into the cabin .. if that doesn't kill you, then you'd prolly lose a damn few brain cells.
Sealed Rechargeable Batteries. These advantages mostly stem from the fact that the sealed rechargeable battery electrolyte is completely absorbed in the separator and does not need water to be added. They require less regular maintenance or ventilation, and can withstand varying climates better than flooded batteries.
