I replaced my battery a couple weeks ago. I went with a larger (longer) battery so had to get the new box for it to fit in. I didn't drill holes (actually never thought of it). But I did drill holes in my old (smaller) box ... 7 years ago! Old battery had caps that could be opened up. And in 7 I never had to add a drop of water. Even when I traded it in, it still had acid just below the top of the holes... never leaked. The new battery cannot be opened, so I'm assuming it should not ever spill out. So, probably will not drill holes in the new box.
But yes, they do get water inside. Those boxes are vented at the top and water splashes from your wheels and other vehicles in upwards directions and can get under those vents when it rains. Not to mention sweat from heat to cold and back again.
Holes? not sure I'll be dilling or not on the new box. I guess I need to wait and see how others continue to respond on this thread. Interesting... I let this slip. Thanks!
