BATTERY BOX

Abstract:

A battery box includes a main housing and a cover that together define an interior of the battery box and a vent in at least one of the main housing and the cover. The vent provides fluid communication between the interior of the battery box and an atmosphere surrounding the battery box. An upper baffle is positioned in the interior of the battery box behind the vent. The upper baffle is configured to direct any liquid that enters the vent downwardly. A drain opening in the main housing allows liquid that enters through the vent to exit the main housing. A lower baffle positioned proximate the drain opening prevents liquid from entering the interior of the battery box through the drain opening.
