[PSUBS-MAILIST] Air comp battery compartment

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

I will submit to conventional wisdom and find another solution, likely the cabin, however I do question whether the volume of outgas from AGM's during use (not charging) is really such a threat.  I'm sure this is a manufacturer question and if I can find our contacts at US Battery they would be a good source for this kind of information.

Jon. Depending on depth rating that volume could be a lot.   To me it feels safer to oil fill. An air compensated pod would be dangerous if it lost its air. I guess you could increase the size of your drop weight to compensate for flooded pods.   I wonder what the effect on buoyancy would be with added air volume weight. I guess the air is leaving one tank to go in another so might balance outHank
