Your local fire department will want to very closely inspect your explosive materials handling and safety procedures. Think about what big banks of lead-acid batteries have to do, and google the pictures of battery rooms with their roof blown to bits.

you can just vent h2 to the atmosphere
It doesn't work so easily; if you do that, the battery itself will fall apart because of deposition of the iron. See: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/1945-7111/abcf50/...
thanks! so the rest of the thread here is sort of beside the point

i'm familiar with the destructive power and unpredictable nature of hydrogen detonations, yes ;)
but that's what happens when you don't vent the hydrogen to the atmosphere
Yes, but improperly venting the hydrogen is "not venting hydrogen" but looks like venting the hydrogen unless closely inspected.
you can do it in ways that are really obvious, though only to someone who knows the order of magnitude of hydrogen that could be produced
