Friend insisted the caps that cover the water reserviors should be opened to avoid a build up of gases that would lead to an explosion.
That is about the *%#*@! suggestion I have ever heard (not condemning you, you asked a legitimate question, I am commenting on your friend)
Automobile alternators put out from 60 to 180 amp, and charge the batteries fairly heavy after a normal start. Does your friend remove the caps on his car batteries when he is driving? Or a golf cart when it is charging, or a electric man lift when it is plugged in, or anything else with batteries with removable caps?
The caps are vented.
