I am wanting to put this battery in a cadillac DTS 2006, need to make sure its vented, as the battery is under the backseat . THNXS

It is a completely sealed maintenance free battery so you don't need it to be vented. It isn't like a standard lead acid battery which is why you need the vent. You will be fine to put this in.

Agree with Wayne and Brett. I've used mine for years in warn and cold weather. Works great to keep the battery topped up.

i believe so, but ..... I found it to be not so good a product and I would not buy another, it ran very hot and I believe cooked my battery.

Don't know about compatibility, but I do know that there is some shielding problem because I get zapped through the vent holes, and that didn't happen with my old battery. Its like strong static discharge, and is more annoying than painful, but I have a high pain threshold as well.

No idea, probably time for you to get this battery out of you cel phone. Nobody should this battery, apparently the seller or Amazon care about the safety of buyers. This battery get so hot to levels that are clearly very dangerous and it had been reported here and the seer still offer this trash in Amazon.People need to start paying attention to reviews, that's the purpose of it.

it is flat and wraps around the battery so if your battery is a bit bigger it will still work just fine. I bought 2 and one was a bit small for my truck but covers 90% of the battery. The one for our Subaru fits perfectly and both are snug and the cord is just right to run out the front of both vehicles.

I do not know at what low temp. this will still work. I keep mine in the car trunk, in the garage. The lowest temp here is about 20 degrees.it seems to be some sort of dry cell trpe of battery, so my feeling is it should still work. sorry I do not have better info.

We store ours in our car all the time. I am guessing the concern is that it uses a li-ion battery. There is still a concern of getting them too hot and what the will do in an accident.

not sure why it would not? As long as you have the ability to wire it. In addition, you may want to calculate what draw would be on your battery, but all in all, I think it would be fine. Check your roof contour as well to ensure it will accommodate.

Hello, no I just put this new battery in and it works great!!! I have had really good luck with it and happy I purchased it. Hope you have the same success as I have with this battery.

It's stayed charged in my briefcase for a couple months. But, I wouldn't recommend keeping anything with a battery in a car, if it may be exposed to very high temperatures. Just like anything, it could melt - or worse, combust. It is a battery, after all.

It would be fine to store this in a cold car, as long as you keep it fully charged. It may self-discharge a little faster in cold weather, so check the charge once a week. Inside it is an Advanced Glass Mat (AGM) lead-acid battery, like an Optima battery.

Three things to check: 1. Do you really want the negative terminal on the left side of the battery? That's where it is on this particular one. 2. Check the battery configuration on your vehicle. The battery needs a different hold-down than the normal rectangular one. 3. Do you want a "post-type" hookup rather than a "screw-in" mount? This one is a "post-type".

I cannot-but a call to Fantastic Vent Customer Service wil have the answer...It is very low though..I hook mine up to a portable car start battery w/accessory jack, and plug that into a DC jack when driving..I have never had an issue..

There are very specific instructions for this battery. If you follow the directions, they work great. They cannot be "trickle charged" (this will damage them) and need to be brought in over the winter.

I would say no - if I recall the instructions they didn't even want it mounted under the hood where it might be exposed to engine heat and splash. I did mount mine under the hood - 2013GMC 1500. GM moved the battery to the right rear corner on the engine compartment and left the battery mount (for the 2nd battery) in the left front quadrant. This is perfect as it is close to the fuse compartment and allows access past the steering gear etc for the air lines.So far the "Wireless one" compressor is great - no air lines to run through the cab - just use the remote to make adjustments.

My best answer is to check with the battery mfr. with the specs of the Battery Minder. I have another one for 2 - Lifeline 27T 100 AH AGMs in my camper and Lifeline had no objection. AGM batteries don't have need to destratify (my word...I forget the proper term) the acid, so there might be cheaper units without that feature designed for AGMs. Incidentally, my Vette will be 10 yrs. old in a few weeks..original battery.
