Electrolyte Venting
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Each of the 40 hybrid batteries has a vent for electrolyte gas that is located on the top of each battery. The hybrid batteries vent system connects all of the 40 hybrid battery vents to a rubber manifold. The vent exits the hybrid drive motor generator battery through a single hose in the rear and is vented through the floor panel of the vehicle. These vents are mechanical and will only open when a predetermined amount of internal battery pressure is reached.
