How well ventilated is your battery compartment, if one exists? In high draw conditions, wet cell (lead/acid) batteries will eventually off gas hydrogen and oxygen in large enough quantities to go boom. (not good)

AFAIK (?) there is no gassing on discharge. The hydrogen is combining with oxygen to make water.
On recharging you will get get gassing once the voltage rises to "gassing voltage" of about 14.2v and you get acid instead of water being made.
