Het Guys I bought my H3 a year ago and never have the battery vent hose, do you think i should buy one or its gonna work without it.

You'll be fine. Many owners ditch the cover altogether when they put in a new battery that's a different shape or size, or a dual battery setup. I haven't heard of any issues.

Here is a visual on it. Fig-7 ELECTRICAL / ELECTRICAL / BATTERY / Cooling duct MSRP $12.19 Online Price $7.23.

And yes its not of great importance, usually the box goes away if you upgrade to a slightly larger or off brand battery.

I was never quite sold on the reasoning for having a vent hose their to begin with. Batteries have functioned just fine bolted down open under the hood since the beginning of time, so why the need?
