There are two vents on all the batteries I have had lately, one at each end, fore and aft on a Crossfire.
The Crossfire aft end is plugged with a small hard to see plug, the front end had the vent trap pictured above. People without the plug or people who have had a battery seriously overflow have found serious damage under the battery tray, some have had the vacuum line to a heater control eaten into.
The best thing here is to fit a trap or a plastic line like some cars have to divert the acid away from the car.
