Systems and methods associated with a battery for a micromobility transit vehicle are provided. A micromobility transit vehicle may include a frame and a battery disposed at least partially in the frame. The battery may include a housing and a ventilation assembly. The ventilation assembly may include a vent cap releasably coupled to the housing, and a breather plug connected to the vent cap and including a membrane configured to pass air between the housing and an external environment, such as to equalize a pressure within the housing with an external environment. The vent cap may be configured to mechanically release from the housing to vent internal gases out of the battery in response to a pressure within the housing, such as in response to a pressure exceeding a threshold.
