Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I also purchased the black aluminum battery box and used two tiny sheet metal screws with washers.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well I just removed 44lbs from the 996. I used and oddessy 13.5lb dry cell and replaced the 57.5lb stocker. Anyway, while I was swiching them out I noticed a clear tube going to the battery. Anyone know what it's for and if I need it? I guess I could but it won't tell me if it's ok to go without. Thanks everyone.

POST 2Original post

It's a vent tube that goes to the wheel well right where the brake lines are. It vents battery acid gassing. IMHO, it's a stupid place to vent a battery. Ask me how I know. Please post link for the battery. Dry sounds like my kind of battery.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cool, that makes sense. Here is where I got all the info... http://www.stealth316.com/2-dynabatt.htm I went with the 680T because it has the automotive posts included. I also purchased the black aluminum battery box and used two tiny sheet metal screws with washers. Super easy. http://www.gotbatteries.com/items.as...SL105/37L105S4
