The following method may be used to calculate the ventilation requirements of a battery room. 26.8Ah input to a fully charged cell will liberate 8 g of oxygen and 1 g of hydrogen. One (1) g of hydrogen occupies a volume of 12 liters at 20°C and at a pressure of one standard atmosphere. Therefore 26.8Ah input will evolve 12 liters of hydrogen.

According to the National Electrical Code, (NEC) the battery room should be ventilated, as required by NFPA 70 480.10 (A). “Ventilation. Provisions appropriate to the battery technology shall be made for sufficient diffusion and ventilation of gases from the battery — to prevent the accumulation of an explosive mixture.”
Battery room regulations: An overview of the regulations and guidelines that pertain to the storage and maintenance of batteries on a ship. This should include relevant industry standards, international requirements, and any specific rules set forth by the ship's flag state.
Battery room ventilation codes and standards protect workers by limiting the accumulation of hydrogen in the battery room. Hydrogen release is a normal part of the charging process, but trouble arises when the flammable gas becomes concentrated enough to create an explosion risk — which is why safety standards are vitally important.
Ventilation systems for stationary batteries must address human health and safety, fire safety, equipment reliability and safety, as well as human comfort. The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration.
The battery room should be well-sealed to prevent the leakage of hazardous gases into other areas of the ship. However, provisions should be made for proper ventilation to ensure the removal of these gases. This can be achieved through the installation of high-quality ventilation ducts and fans.
