Multiple cell vent cap for a storage battery

A vent cap for a storage battery having a plurality of cells, and vent cap comprising:

• a. a base portion comprising a tray and peripherally extending walls which define a cavity comprising:
• (i) a first segment having means for communicating between the cavity and the cell of the battery, and
• (ii) a second segment which is substantially enclosed and separated from the first segment by baffle means having an aperture which permits communications between the first and second segment, said baffle means further having a first baffle separating the first and second segments and located substantially along the central portions of the cavity, the first baffle including an aperture therein, and a second baffle positioned centrally parallel with and spaced from the first baffle and in substantial transverse alignment with the opening in the first baffle;
• b. a cover portion comprising a substantially planar surface, having a plurality of cup-shaped members depending therefrom, and having a plurality of apertures positioned along one of the edges of the cover portion;
• and
• c. means for retaining the cover portion to the base portion thereby providing an enclosed vent cap assembly.
