Sounds more like ventalation for Edison batteries or flooded NICAD to me. (the year is right for them, the last gen Edison batteries were being produced then)

I believe that this was also the type of battery that Ford was using in their EV Minivans during the "EV1 time period" of the CARB mandate.
I think that the "standard" Solectrias ran on group 27 lead-acid gel batteries.

Yes but that was years later, I doubt a salt battery would have gone in there for real world use. Normally they are in city buses and the like.
