Information

State-of-the-art batteries have central venting.
In certain battery states, the gas produced during charging can emerge centrally through an opening on the upper cover side. Backfire protection is integrated at the same position, which prevents the ignition of the combustible gas present in the battery.
In batteries with a hose/pipe for central venting, make sure that the hose is not pinched. Only then can the battery be freely vented.
