ABSTRACT:
A vent system for an electric storage battery designed to remove the electrolyte which is entrained in the gases that are vented from the particular battery cell to the atmosphere through the vent plug assembly. The liquid gas separation feature has a primary inlet on the sidewall of the vent plug at its uppermost position that still remains in the battery cell, a drain opening in the lowermost portion of the vent plug, and baffles arranged inside the vent plug assembly such that the fluid entering the primary inlet flows in a horizontal direction and is scrubbed to remove the electrolyte. The electrolyte is then collected and returns to the cell through the drain opening while the scrubbed gases eventually reach the atmosphere. The liquid gas separation system can be used in a vent plug having a low profile for use on maintenance free batteries as well as on non-maintenance free batteries.
