12v Battery Vent Tube - where does it go?

I recently replaced the 12volt in my 2012 Prius v. The original battery had a vent hose with a grommet that was not connected to any hole and there is no hole in that location.

The replacement battery has no vent tube.

I don't know of the Prime, but the Gen 3's have a large outside vent to the battery compartment.

 

I think OP is asking about 2012 Pip not PRIME. So your answer for Gen3 is appropriate. PRIME and Gen4 have regular battery in the engine compartment, thus no vent tube.

That being said, I am sorry that I don't know the answer to OP's question, even though I have owned Gen3 previous to PRIME. I never had to open the 12v battery compartment in the back while I owned my Gen3.

 

If this model has the 12v battery in the same location as the regular prius, (passenger side rear of trunk), there should be a rubber grommet in the trunk floor just a few inches in front of the clampdown mount and just an inch or two toward the trunk from the front corner of the battery. The tube goes in that grommet. The vent tube connects to the forward part of the battery and then runs along the front side of the battery toward the driverside and then into the floor grommet.

Here's a link I found real quick for a 2010-2015

 

That's weird, because in this video, showing the plug-in model, you can clearly see the 12v battery vent tube attaching at a similar place in the floor, right after he removes the long plastic tray by the trunk latch.

 

Glad to have helped, but I've found that youtube has practically all the answers to life's questions....at least about cars anyway...it's never let me down, lol.

 

I met a surgeon who lives in Bangladesh who finds help from YouTube since he's the only surgeon for several million people and there's no one nearby to ask. YouTube is really handy!!

 

Simple question, simple answer.

 

It's amazing what you will find if you read through the owners manual!

 

Yeah, but that's cheating.

 

Some cheaters prosper!

 

No shortcuts in life, into roads less taken baby!!!

 

Correction:

I discovered that it was never connected. So, I corrected the factory error and connected.

i doubt the o/m has the vent tube connection location

 

That’s our very own @Rebound .

Now in the city of roses.

 

Now I’m wondering if I put mine in the right hole
