I'd like to use a deep cycle lead acid battery to power a 100 watt device during a power outage. I know that a non-sealed lead acid battery will vent hydrogen while it's being charged, but how about while it's being used (discharged)? (I can recharge it in the basement, but I'd need to use it in the house.)
I'm asking about a non-sealed deep cycle battery because I can buy a non-sealed now, but would need to wait before buying a sealed one.
Also, I'm not going to hold anyone, or this board, liable in any way for anything said, so please be honest. Also, I'm a man and not a child, which means I should have the right to accept less than 100% safety if I decide to (however that statement does not mean I am foolish, it's just that nowadays the general consensus is "if it's not 100% safe make it illegal" and people seem to think they can decide to not allow others to make decisions for themselves). So please just give me facts and don't try to protect me, that's my job and I accept it.
Thanks.
