Please post a link which verifies any of that - I'm 99% sure only hydrogen comes out of the battery (where it mixes with the oxygen in the atmosphere of course) and that the gassing begins as soon as the charging process begins boiling the electrolyte and not just near the end when the battery reaches 'full charge' as you state
If you have something scientific to prove either of your statements, lots of us can learn something new
