battery maintenance

[Henry A Harper III]

The Interstate I bought a year or two ago had a vent orientation that was
different from the Kmart/Penske brand that it replaced, but (eventually)
came with a little kit/piece of extra hose that made it work. I seem to
recall an additional trip back to the Interstate distributor at the time.
