Even if it's only for an exceptional circumstance, (e.g., battery or charging system malfunction), having a vent sure seems like a good idea to me when the battery is located in an area without plenty of natural ventilation, (and where sulphuric acid vapor-induced corrosion would be so damaging and expensive to repair) like is the case on our cars...



Nice find! That looks just like what I've got on my AGM battery...

Crazy. I buy two AGM's each year for our waverunners...never have vent ports.
