Frank Conley Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Hey all, I need to replace my battery on my 2000 DHS, I understand I need the group 79 battery with the vents. Does this battery have the vents? http://www.samsclub.com/sams/duracell-automotive-battery-group-size-79/prod3590250.ip?navAction=push Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHE Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Yes - it has the vents - I can see them at the top of the battery near the edge. You will need to transfer the vent hoses from the existing battery - they plug in to the vents on the battery and go through the floor. Make sure to check the date code on the battery - I looked at one of these batteries a couple of years ago and found the battery on the shelf was 2 years old. I was able to buy an AC Delco battery at a local wholesaler for less money than the Sams Club battery so that's what I went with. If I had not been able to buy the Delco battery, I probably would have gone with the Duracell from Sams (with a date code that was less than 6 months old).

Logan Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Lots of batteries have the vents now. I've bought 2 batteries in the last year for different vehicles (neither one a Cadillac). Both had venting tube systems...both batteries came with a vent tube adapter kit taped to it. And...thinking about it...both came from NAPA.
