My instincts from my aviation days says vent that sucker - if it's not
already vented. Safety item. Can't be too careful. Get a little hydrogen
build up, a little spark - and bang, instant disaster. Or boil the
eletrolyte and get a little fuming acid, instant rot in fabric and
instant corrosion elsewhere.

Vent that sucker, I say - vent that sucker!!
