Abstract
A closure plug containing a recombination catalyst is adapted to fit into an opening of a battery. It contains means for directing evolved oxygen and hydrogen gases to the recombination catalyst and also contains gas communication means to conduct the recombined water vapor below the surface of the electrolyte where it is condensed. The method is directed to operating a battery wherein gaseous oxygen and hydrogen are recombined to form water vapor in the upper portion of the battery and the recombined water vapor is then conducted through a conduit extending into the electrolyte wherein it is condensed.
