H2 is actually very difficult to contain, and can migrate through most
materials.
A super sealed, very small space, with a lot of charging source, its
possible to reach combustion, but IMHO, you'd have to really try to
create a system to do that. I've had a cell burn off its H2 once, so
yes you can reach combustion levels inside the cell, but not in an
adequately sized and vented box.
As Jeff said earlier, venting is not so much about explosion, its that
Hydrogen Sulfide gas is poisonous. While it might be very hard to
create an explosive build up, its much easier to create a deadly H2S
buildup. (the code is definitely missing the point on that one)

Hi All,
We've been having this discussion about battery box explosions.
I would like a show of hands who has actually seen or truly known of a battery
enclosure that has exploded due to hydrogen gas build up.
And some specifics about that occurrence if possible.
Thanks,
Jay
