    Hello so I’ve been having trouble with my battery got some new modules ready to replace the bad ones but upon opening it it seems like it doesn’t have the battery vent tubes wondering if anyone in the IE or OC area of California has one they can sell today?

    I know the third generation batteries don’t have tubes as far as the second generation, You’re supposed to take the vent tubes off your old battery and transfer to the new battery. That being said, I have some that I can sell you if that option is not available

    Any battery rebuilder has lots of these, maybe even for free if you approach it right... But know that they eliminated those vent tubes in Gen3 because the battery cooling fan is sufficient enough to clear the fumes if a module fails.
