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. </span></div><div><span>Hank</span></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <br> <br> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"> <div

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.</div><span class="yiv7311798387HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><div>
