FLA batteries release potentially explosive hydrogen during charging, therefore it is recommended that they are stored in a location with adequate free airflow. This is additionally important for cooling. If batteries are to be placed in a battery box, then holes should be made near the top and bottom of the box to enable rising hydrogen - which rises because it is lighter than most other molecules - to escape and other air to enter. A sloped lid on the battery box can help to improve ventilation. It is also a best practice to locate the point where any cables exist near the bottom of the battery box to avoid any hydrogen entering the conduit and making its way to the other electrical equipment.
