Taken from ACDelco Catalogue.
The AC batteries in 3 cars have 2 vent holes.
I looked at them more and said to myself why do you get a vent hose but the other vent gets nothing.
Well I know now you should get a vent hose and a vent plug with you new battery I would think.
Had a Rep at work last week but no feedback yet he don`t know.
Hope I get news this week.

Thanks for that.

Just re-read your post.
We have ACDelco ones at work last one I got was picked by someone with no pipe so fixed that but I have never seen plugs.
Hope to see Rep soon.

Yep, if there’s 2 holes in the battery, one needs to be vented, the other needs to be plugged

What i meant was both holes were plugged and you just remove either plug and insert vent hose .
