Hi All,

My OEM battery just croaked yesterday (75k miles). I walked down to my local NAPA and got a replacement with better CCA. Anyway, the OEM battery had a hole where one could plug in a drain tube. The NAPA replacement battery doesn't have the hole. What is the impact of not using the drain tube? Never saw one in my domestic or Japanese vehicles before the Volvo.

Thanks.
