A battery exhaust vent includes an expanded metal filter which acts as a heat sink to cool an overheating battery. The exhaust vent acts as a particulate filter and flame arrestor which reduces flames and particulate slag projectiles from being expelled outside a battery housing. Directional Flow Expanded Metal (DFEM) and Variable Expanded Metal (VEM) are utilized for their directional fins and associated plethora of openings offset in overlapping layers to create a cyclone effect for gases or particles passing through the filter. The fins and holes are offset from layer to layer within a multi-layer filter construction and are designed to immediately change the direction of the flames and burning particles relative to the input flame flow direction. The vent may include an elastomeric umbrella valve which seals the vent from external airflow but allows quick venting for internal gas pressure during a runaway event or excessive heating.
