Although there could be others, the primary gas is Hydrogen [H2], and sometimes Hydrogen Sulphide [H2S].
If and when mixed in the proper ratio with the air, both of these gasses are highly explosive!!!!!

Are car battery vapors acidic?
Car battery vapor is hydrogen gas and is extremely explosive.
What causes a deposit of turquoise powder on the negative terminal of a car battery?
corrosion of copper, from battery acid vapors, most likely.
Is it dangerous to drive your car with steam coming out of your battery?
That steam as you call it is highly explosive. Get it checked immediately by a qualified mechanic.
Why are gasses vented from a charging car battery dangerous?
B/c what's vented is hydrogen, which together with oxygen is explosive.
Why did your car battery exploded with only 3000 miles on it?
Exploding Automotive BatteriesAuto batteries are usually of the Lead-Acid type and thus generate explosive gasses [Hydrogen (H2) and sometimes Hydrogen-sulphide (H2S?)]. These gasses accumulate in the head-space in the battery, and are emitted from the battery at the vent openings. Any kind of spark which occurs inside the battery or in the explosive gas envelope outside but near the battery, can ignite the explosive gasses thus causing an explosion. Even a spark/explosion starting outside the battery can ignite the gasses inside the battery and cause the battery itself to explode.In your case, with only 3K miles on the battery [for all practical purposes a brand new battery] I suspect that an internal flaw/fault due to a manufacturing defect or defective materials led to/caused the ignition.All of this is based on the assumption that you, or no one else, tampered with, misused, or abused the battery during that 3K miles.Without an exhaustive examination/investigation of the remains of the battery it is not possible to determine the actual fault/flaw causing the failure.
Some car batteries give off a potentially explosive mixture of gases What kind of change is taking place in the battery?
chemical change
How can you use emitted in a sentence?
The car emitted a lot of nasty gases.She emitted her opinions openly and proudly.
What does a charcoal filter do on a car?
It absorbs the gasoline vapors from the fuel tank while the car is parked. Once you start the car the vapors fromm the charcoal canister are purged back into your engine and burned.
What are the hazards of car batteries?
They contain sulfuric acid which is highly corrosive. The battery also emits small quantities of hydrogen gas which is highly explosive.
Is it safe to charge a car battery indoors?
No ! Batteries give off hydrogen gas which is highly explosive. Also, Battery chargers have been known to catch on fire so using one indoors is foolish.
What explosive car was the explosive star of a film?
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Is a bulging car battery safe to operate?
The battery has internal problems and/or the vehicle is overcharging and is probably giving off explosive fumes. Don't do anything to cause a spark anywhere near the battery and take it to a repair shop asap for diagnoses.
