    Just make sure you charge it for at least 8 hours at 4 amps or less.....
    They don't charge them at the dealerships after they arrive... or auto parts stores.

    If I remember correctly when changing mine,,,,the little vent tube (snorkel as you called it) was removeable and could be used on the new battery if needed......

    Yeah, the snorkel comes with the car. All that comes with the battery (if it's the right kind) is the port to pop the snorkel into.

    Just editorial:

    $195.99 + $18.0 core = $236.85 $195.99

    core charge refunded when you give them the old battery
