Design Principles . . .
The battery room ventilation is calculated in accordance to EN IEC 62485-2 & EN IEC 62485-3 (replace EN 50272-2 & EN 50272-3) Standards. The ventilation flow rate is calculated using the following formula:
Q = v * q * s * n * Igas * Cn / 100
where
Q = ventilation air flow (CMH)
v = necessary hydrogen dilution factor (depends on % of air-hydrogen mixture)
q = hydrogen release rate, typically=0.00042 m3/Ah
s = safety factor, generally=5 for building projects
n = number of cells
Igas = current producing gas during charging (A/100Ah)
Cn = capacity of a battery (Ah). Note: This refers to rated ampere-hour capacity of lead acid or NiCd cell of the battery.

Example (in English units)
A battery room (40 ft x 30 ft x 15 ft high) contains 10 batteries. Each battery has 18 cells. The rated capacity of the battery is 850 Ah. Boost charging method is employed for charging of battery. The hydrogen concentration in the room shall be kept below 1%. Find the hydrogen concentration in the room, and ventilation rate required.
Ignore the volume occupied by the battery.
Instant results
Nos. of cell per battery = 18
Battery rated capacity (Ah) = 850
Nos. of battery = 10
Charging current (A/Ah) = 0.02
H2 release rate (ft³/h) = 0.01474
H2 produced (ft³/h) = 45.1044
Nett room vol (ft³) = 18000.00
% H2 after 1 hr (%) = 0.2506
Allowable H2 (%) = 1
Safety factor = 5
Airflow required (CFM) = 372.11
Room airchange/hr = 1.24
