Question: Battery vent? Does it have to be there?

(I used search for 20 minutes)


Hi. Does the battery cooling vent have to be there? I have not seen this on other cars before. Since when do you cool the battery?

I have seen them wrapped in insulated blankets before (VW)

Of course I am asking becuase I don\'t want to put it back on after my Blue AEM C.A.I is installed.;)

any thoughts?

because we have battery box, Mazda may afraid of over heat the battery. But if you don\'t have anything such as high power amp/sub stuff, you can remove the vent.

from my understanding, the reason we have one is because our car is one of the few cars that still use a open type battery, meaning u gota refill the water in it every 2 years or soemthing??

correct me if im wrong
