If you buy the right model/rating/size/brand, it should be properly
vented...my Werker brand was too, but the vent hole was obscured
by the outer plastic casing; sort of "covered over". Easy to spot
the hole and give it a poke. If the brand is not vented, I would take
a pass on that specific batt.

Road Frog:
I hear you on the "let's squeeze the last mile out of the orig. battery"...
however, with 3 cars and 3 motorcyles, I figure 5-6 years is getting
my money's worth, and I would rather swap in a new one, in my
driveway, on my time, than having it go poof out on the road. YMMV!
