Ok, so I was looking at the battery since my car is 5 years old and I figured it was about time to replace the battery. When I looked at it though, what I think was the venting tube was disconnected:



So should it look like this?:



I have a 2005 LS.

Thanks,
Andrew

 

lol nice it has been venting fumes straight into your trunk!

 

so wait..u looked at the battery and decided it had to go just cause its 5 years old? ..if its not giving you any issue why the hell would u replace it

 

Ya... I was scared that is what was happening...

No, I was just looking at it for the part number since I remember reading awhile back about how a lot of batteries don't fit. And I figure I should replace it soon so I don't get stuck somewhere with a dead battery.

 

no big deal but yes

 

Heh...3 years of owning my balt from brand new and the vent tube detached and my battery literally blew out acid all over my trunk... It took me weeks to figure out why I had a terrible rotten egg smell. I thought it was my cat, but then I realized what was going on when my battery wouldn't hold voltage anymore. :/

Just to mention, those bitches are pricy from the dealer.

 

Your dumb for buying a battery from the dealership

 

umm ok... and to the op at least yours would plug in. mine has been broke since day one! gm wouldnt cover it under warranty either saying i broke it when i took my spare tire out
