well I wanted to make sure she wasn't a lemon or suffering from any issues within the first few months of ownership so I pound the miles on. So far so good, no issues, first oil change and maintenance check last weekend and everything was fine

Well, it's between Knoxville area and Nashville area due to schools with one starting high school next year. Otherwise, we wanted some lake property. Schools are awful around the good lakes, though. LOL We drove all the way to the NC mountains looking at lakes and properties a few weeks ago. Beautiful! And the roads!

Drove all over that area on roads that have to rival the Tail. There were signs everywhere welcoming bikers, etc. who were touring Deal's Gap/Tail of the Dragon.

Looks like costco sells these H7/H8 batteries but they don't come with vent tubes. Probably not a good idea to install one without.

looks like the hole is there , they usually come with little elbows and a cap for the other side when you install as i'm pretty sure even though agm batteries are sealed there is a valve to let out the gasses if overcharged.. The stinger uses the same size battery as our bmw's ( and hundreds of other cars, legit i feel like it's the most used battery size in modern cars mostly european/korean/ some american.. lol) Interstate Batteries - Product Detail scroll down and click show more on the vehicle application list i knew it was used on a lot but not that many..

The 2.5 takes a h7, the 3.3 takes h8. Next time i'm at the store I'll look at it myself. Maybe the salesdroid kid had no idea what he was looking for when I mentioned vent tube.

I don't know about the 3.3, but this seems like an awfully powerful battery for a little 2.5L engine. My guess is it needs all that extra capacity for the start stop. Only use that at known long light. Still very rarely.
