Description
This battery vent cap is designed differently and costs slightly more than our standard vent cap, but it provides peace of mind. All lead-acid batteries produce a flammable gas mixture composed of hydrogen and oxygen. If a nearby spark ignites the gas, the internal spark arrestor stops the flame from entering the battery where it could ignite the internal gas.

This battery cap will fit on all batteries that have a standard 1/4-turn bayonet vent opening. Adapters are available that allow you to retrofit this vent cap to most other batteries. If your battery needs a screw-in or push-in type vent cap, choose from the threaded and push-in type adapters that are listed below.
