[RE-wrenches] Battery vent distance

[Benn At DayStarSolar]

Jesse,
Can't imagine there is a definitive answer. The further the better. 
Given what you are venting out of the battery box (very light hydrogen gas) I would at the very least make sure the battery vent is higher up than the furnace intake. 

Any other sort of barrier btwn the two vents, mounted to the wall would only make it safer.
