Functioning of central venting
Note
• Batteries of the latest state of the art are fitted with central venting.
• The gas occuring during the charging, emerges centrally through an opening on the upper cover side.
The backfire protection is integrated into the same position which prevents the ignition of the
combustible gas present in the battery.
• In batteries with hose/pipe for the central venting, ensure that the hose is not disconnected. Only then
can the battery be freely vented.
• In batteries without a hose/pipe for the central venting, ensure that the opening is not blocked on the
upper cover side of the battery.
