Is the battery vent really necessary?
My Wal Mart battery (group 49) just died and it had leaked battery acid through the vent hose and around the battery itself.
So the fun now begins trying to find a replacement battery. Walmart no longer carries the group size 49 and my local store was out of stock on the 94R version.
Now, every other "94R" battery I have found does not feature a vented cap system. Should I really be concerned about retaining this feature?
Is there a red Optima unit now that will fit the stock tray?
Thanks,
Eric

If you want an Optima this plate works wells. Others have posted an install without a modified tray but I've used this and it works great. http://yellowdogmotorsports.com/details.php?id=104
Just a note, I was unable to power up the car through the power stud inside the fuse box in order to open the trunk. I ended up using the cigarette lighter method.
Is this a bad sign?
