Subject: EE canister lights

I recently purchased one of the EE canister lights.  It weighs 8 
pounds out of the water, but only 1.5 negative in the water.  I'm 
wondering if there is any point (or danger) in filling the air space 
next to the batteries with epoxy.  I'm assuming that this airspace is 
the reason for the relatively low average density of the canister 
assembly.  Most importantly, I'm concerned that I may be exposing 
myself to a danger of explosion if I do this.  Is this airspace 
necessary to allow for some kind of gas venting, or is it simply 
there for no reason at all?  The battery is of course a lead-acid 
sealed 12 volt (two wired parallel, to be precise).

Thanks.
