Vented battery box

[RottieMom]

Can anyone suggest a source for vented battery boxes? I've been searching online, but not finding much. Last week I bought a Trojan 12V AGM deep cycle (grp 27) battery to replace the Interstate battery that came with the TM. The old battery was a grp 24 and we managed to stuff the new one in the same box, but it really needs a bigger box. The battery in my TM is inside under the sofa and is vented to the outside. Thanks.

Thought an AGM did not need venting. Factory AGM is under the passenger seat in my Jeep.

Padgett, from the research I've done you're correct unless an AGM gets overcharged. One of the reasons I bought the AGM was for safety since it's inside the cabin and the other was also because it's no maintenance. But, it does need to sit I side a box so it doesn't move and there's already a vent hose, so I might as well use it.

mjlaupp, thanks for the link. I don't see any on there that look like I can connect a vent hose to them, but i'll give them a call and see if they can help.

Amazon, Ebay, PPL motor homes and Tweety's all sell the battery box that vented battery box that comes with the TM, $35 to $50 is the current price range.
