Note:<br />

New generation batteries are<br />

equipped with a central gas venting<br />

system and integrated flame trap.<br />

Function: Gases produced during<br />

charging escape through a central<br />

opening on the side of the upper<br />

cover. The integrated flame trap<br />

prevents flammable gases in the<br />

battery from igniting. The flame trap<br />

is comprised of a small round<br />

fiberglass mat with a diameter of 15<br />

mm and a thickness of 2 mm.<br />

Working as a one-way-valve, it<br />

allows gases produced during<br />

charging to vent.<br />
