Battery vent / tubing
My old battery did not have a vent tube attached to it. But did have the two vent holes at the side. The one closest to the passenger fender was plugged with a red cap and the other end open.
My new battery is the same way, I installed yesterday it in about 5 minutes. I am going to buy a vent tube and install it.
What would be the best routing for the tube or is there a tube there already and I just don't see it?

The vent tube is only needed for batteries mounted in the rear passenger compartment to ensure hydrogen is vented outside - any model with the dry sump reservoir under the hood. If your battery is under the hood no vent tube is required.
