    Default VE Omega (police pack) battery changeover help

    I would like to replace them both as the engine battery is flat.

    OLD BATTERIES
    WD AG9 /CA
    12V
    Silver Calcium Alloy Battery
    Reserve Capacity 120min
    CCA Rating 600 Amp
    20hrs capacity 70 AH

    NEW BATTERIES
    ACDelco Model S57220
    12V 72AH 120min RC
    360 DIN CCA 640 SAE CCA

    MY CONCERNS
    Is this a suitable replacement?
    Ive noticed these dont have the air tube/vents? So sealed maintenance free batteries don't need them? No risk of fumes?

    yes 100% suitable.

    you know how I know for sure?

    i went to google and typed in ACdelco, went to their website, downloaded this battery guide (http://www.acdelco.com.au/PDFs/Catal...s_09-12-11.pdf), went to page 35, and under Holden Commodore VE Police Pack there's ONE suitable battery listed. You'll never guess what the model number is ?

    dobro da?

    Factory options were the standard battery, a bigger, 'taxi pack, and a bigger again 'police pack'. I bought an exide "MF66H" version of the taxi pack, which didn't have the breather vent, but had the hole for the breather vent in it. I just plugged the original breather vent from the old battery into the new battery. All good.
