Auxiliary battery and venting question
Hello,
I have tried to research this, but have got mixed answers. My auxiliary battery died and a few places recommended this from amazon. . I went ahead and bought it and works great, however it has no port for the venting tube. I understand that AGM batteries are not suppose to vent, but still can if they fault? Is this hazardous to have in my car without ventilation?
Even when I look at batteries offered by places like battery plus like this: https://www.batteriesplus.com/produc...-benz/cyl10001. It does not appear to have a venting port either.
Long story short. Is it safe to have an AGM battery in my cabin without the venting hose being connected?
Thanks!
EDIT: I drive a 2017 MB GLA 250

Was there a hose for the old battery?
You got a motorcycle battery which probably doesn't need venting.

there is a hose within the battery compartment and there was a spot to attach it on the old battery. It appears that the generic auxiliary batteries are all “sports performance batteries” meant for a variety of applications; but with the same specs.
