battery hell...
#22
I had mine die LAST Winter. 3As came and started me, drove straight to Advance, guy said "We got them but they are expensive." BFD. 100 bucks. Put the sucker in!!!
"Sorry, you have to lift the seat, we might break something." OK, I did it. Put it in, and it DID have a vent tube and it does vent under and outside the car.
If yours does not, it is the wrong battery for your car. Sears sold me one some years ago that was unvented, I checked when they gave it back to me, bitched, they told me THAT one costs 20 bucks more. I told them to put the right f'in battery in.
I have only had one battery blow up in one of my cars, an underhood installation, and that sucker blew the top off the battery and burned till I lifted the hood and smothered it.
I don't think you would like to have a small fire under the back seat work its way while you are working YOUR way at your job. You may come out to see a burnt out hulk, your former pride and joy.
Cheers,
George

George, it must be the wrong car altogether... This will be the third time to say it: this fucken thing has no hole through which the "venting" tube would slip out to get a breath of fresh air... Come warmer weather I'll snap a pic to provide "proof", otherwise seems like what I say ain't worth a frozen onion.
