Subject:vent for the batter--Q's--why not aux too?
From:Phillip Bouton

What is the shape of the vent hose for the primary battery as it comes out
from underneath the van?  Mine looks as if it has been cut and opens
straight down to the ground, offering extra (COLD!) ventilation for the
passenger area.  I also have two wires coming out which I think are not
stock.

Why is it that the primary battery has a vent and the aux battery
compartment does not?

How much off-gassing is there really?  If the Aux compartment does not have
a vent then why is it necessary to vent the primary compartment?

I have an 87 Westy with an extra vent.  Appreciate any speculation/answers.
