[PSUBS-MAILIST] inside battery

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
I first used scented baby oil ( mineral oil) in my battery box because it 
was cheap from the supermarket.
The chemicals in the scent must have reacted with the
battery acid or plates & produced a bit of gas. Not excessive, but it 
stopped when I changed to pure mineral oil.
At least any hydrogen produced won't go in to the hull, & if the terminals
are covered with oil there won't be any worry about sparking.
