Yup, a nipple on each side that almost looks like a large USB C plug.

You could go with an AGM battery and eliminate the need for vent tubes, but personally I'd at least keep the vents in place even if you do go with a gel.

agm =/= gel cell

agm is a regular lead acid battery with the acid absorbed into a porous material and still needs venting (optimas in fitment codes for interior mounting have the vent port on em, and that sintered-looking plug on the top of the battery is the vent on all other form factors)

you want a gel cell if you don't want to run the vent tube, otherwise most aftermarket group 27, 51, 78, 34C and 31 (probably others too) will have the port for the tube
