Abstract: A battery vent cap includes a cylindrical body having an upper portion and a lower portion. A pair of diametrically opposed, radially outwardly extending bayonet tabs is formed on the lower portion. The bayonet tabs permit an installation of the vent cap into a vent port of a battery cover without rotational movement thereof and a removal of the vent cap from the vent port with less than about 180 degrees rotational movement.

Abstract: An electrolyte level gauge includes a housing defining a condensation chamber having a plurality of condensing elements disposed therein. The condensation chamber is in fluid communication with an electrolyte through a first vent aperture and an ambient environment through a second vent aperture. The electrolyte level gauge further comprises a sight member having a hollow interior and an indicator having a first end slidingly disposed in the hollow interior of the sight member and a second end including a float. The float is configured to be buoyant on the electrolyte.

Abstract: A vent cap assembly for recombining water for a battery includes a cylindrical base having an upper portion and a lower portion. The lower portion configured to be inserted into a vent port. A cap encloses the cylindrical base. A catalyst component is received in the base configured to hydronate hydrogen and oxygen to water.
