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?

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.
