Hello, I have read that a battery releases a flammable gas(Hydrogen I think) when it is being charged, does a Battery Tender release enough gas that one should be concerned about indoors like in a garage or basement? The battery would be in the car connected to the Battery tender all Winter in NJ.
The reason I am asking is because my garage where I store my classic car for the winter is attached to my house which is actually my sons bedroom and was going to buy a Battery Tender to keep up with the battery over the winter, but I am wondering if I should be concerned with the amount of flammable gas that could be released from it being that I have an attached garage and my sons room is so close to the garage.
In the past I would take the battery out for the winter and would have to charge it back up in the spring which is not great for the battery and thats why I was thinking of using the Battery Tender this year instead until I read about the gas release during charging and realized it would be connected out there all winter. Not sure if the Battery Tender goes to charge mode more often in the winter also with the cold temps.
thanks for the help
