Hello Steve,

Sounds interesting for the bellows, would the bellows withstand the pressure 
the recombination reactions would require? I think you would require one 
bellows for each cell, a 12 volt battery would require 6 bellows. Pumping air 
sounds doubtful.

 Would adding one-way over-pressure valves to the batteries and pumping the 
 air directly into the battery casing via solenoid valve help?  I'm guessing 
 No because of the evaporation problem.  How about a bellows arrangement 
then? 
  As the pressure increases in the battery compartment, the bellows which is 
 attached to the battery will compress.  Thus the air in the battery is not 
 cycled thereby preventing the evaporation.
