Vent housing for advanced batteries

1. A system, comprising:

a vent housing configured to be installed on a lower housing of a battery module at a first side of the vent housing, comprising:

a main body having an opening on a second side of the vent housing;

an internal chamber coupled to the opening, comprising a first wall having an internal burst vent configured to open at a first pressure threshold; and a second wall having a ventilation vent comprising a gas-selective permeability layer; and

a face plate coupled to a face of the main body and disposed over the opening;

wherein the internal burst vent comprises a first valve seat and a second valve seat disposed in the first wall, and a valve having a first valve portion retained within the first valve seat and a second valve portion connected to the first valve portion and retained within the second valve seat, and the first pressure threshold is such that first valve portion is totally dislodged from the first valve seal.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the face plate comprises a hose connector configured to enable connection with a vent hose.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the hose connector is configured to direct gases from the internal chamber in a specific direction through the face plate.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the hose connector comprises an annular insert in the face plate.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the vent housing comprises a gasket disposed between the face plate and the face of the vent housing, wherein the gasket is configured to restrict movement of gases passing between the face plate and the face of the vent housing.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ventilation vent comprises a covering having the gas-selective permeability layer.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the ventilation vent comprises openings in the second wall.
