[DML] Re: Technical Battery and fuse question

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I believe your observation is correct and the only real cure is - 
Ventilation! 

In some cars with batteries in the trunk or under the back seat a 
vent connected directly to the battery is used to direct any gases 
to the outside. Lincoln has one for the LS that I have been 
investigating because it connects directly to a vent similar to 
those on Delco batteries. Since there is a vent in the back of the 
DeLorean battery case, a straight forward adaptation appears 
probable. If I come up with something that appears to work I will 
post it.
