This!! I spent last weekend searching for a battery (Group 75, I believe) with a vent. None of the ones I looked at had the vent even though they were specified for the C3. (Duracell, O'Reilly, Sears). One possibility is the Napa Legend, but they were out. So I ended up getting an Optima Red Top. Starts real good now.
