This invention pertains to a novel resealable pressure relief vent valve for use in normally sealed containers such as sealed electric batteries or cells wherein said vent valve includes an outer plate having a centrally-raised area, an inner plate having a centrally recessed area, said plates joined at their ends and forming a cavity therebetween, and a compressed resilient elastomeric member interposed in the cavity and positioned to overlie a vent orifice located in the inner plate, whereby during normal operation of the battery or cell the elastomeric member seals the vent orifice and when internal container pressure exceeds a predetermined limit, the elastomeric member distorts, breaking the seal and allowing the venting of the cell.
