Gents,

Need some help locating where on my car battery I can plug in a vent tube. I've got a Super Start Premium running in my 2003 XJR and simply cannot seem to find a port meant for the vent tube to plug into.

At this point, I'm not sure there is a port for the vent tube at all! Anybody have this problem before? Any ideas?

Thanks,
AR

 

The vent is typically at the top center of the ends of the battery. Usually both ends and plugged with a removable plug or cap so that the battery can be used in many applications including ones not requiring a vent tube. A vent tube adapter is supplied or you will have to reuse the adapter from the old battery.

Since your battery is specifically designated for the Jaguar there is certainly a vent hole there even if currently covered.

 

What kind of battery is it? Lead Acid or something else. The battery I just got for my bike isn't vented as it doesn't off gas. Could that be it?

 

@unhinged (and others); after searching, I was unable to find whether the issue with accessing the ODB port was tested/proven fixed. Reason for the ask: I'd like to connect to the ODP port for track days to get better driving metrics via RaceRender and hopefully find a remote tachometer application; as I am pretty short and the steering wheel is perfectly in the way of the tach. If Jag offered the tesla yoke steering wheel option, I would take it in a second....

 

WHAT? You reopened a six year old thread with a completely different subject . . . . I know that stuff is legal in some states, but seriously . . . ?
