Drive Motor Generator Battery Venting System

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 GMC Yukon, 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2011 Cadillac Escalade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The hybrid drive motor generator battery contains 40 individual batteries. The hybrid drive motor generator battery has two venting systems. One is for battery air cooling. The other is for venting of possible electrolyte gases from the 40 hybrid batteries. The hybrid batteries vent system connects all the battery vents to a rubber manifold that exits at the rear of the hybrid drive motor generator battery through a single hose and is vented through the floor panel of the vehicle.

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.
