Abstract
A battery cover for a battery casing has a plurality of electrolyte containing cells, a primary cover and a secondary cover. The primary cover has a plurality of barrels arranged along a longitudinal axis and the secondary cover has a plurality of tubular elements extending downwardly and insertable in the barrels of the primary cover. Each of the tubular elements has an inner tubular member and an outer tubular member. The outer tubular member has an axially extending cutout portion which runs from its tip to the surface of the secondary cover. The battery cover also has a plurality of baffles defining a circuitous passageway for gases which are evolved in the cells of the battery to be released to an external port located on the secondary cover.
