This first one went before the spell check! Not a word Bill!!!! -----Original
Message----- G-day all From the material I have been reading and what I
remember Hydrogen gas is formed in lead acid batteries when charging and
dischrgeing. My understanding is that if you ventilate the battery
compartment with the atmosphere
when running on the surface and the air in the pressure hull when submerged
this can stop a BIG BANG! Can anyone suggest the amount of Hydrogen as a %
of the Subs atmosphere is required for an explosion to occour? Is there such a
thing as a Hydrogen Scrubber? Is hydrogen produced more readerly when charging
or discharging the batteries. By contributing to this string the life you save
could be mine<J Regards Steve P |
