[C320-list] Battery Ventilation

[warren updike]

Chris, my blower enters the engine compartment and exhausts via another hose
leading from the engine compartment. The batteries are in the stbd setee.
There is no path for air between the battery compartment and the engine
compartment.  Did I misunderstand you?

If you run your blower long enough, it will vent the compatment.
