Hi All,

Just sold my '91 240 and purchased a '03 XC70. Jeez, just to change out the battery has all these steps you must follow. I am already regretting getting rid of my 240. Anyway, Volvo recommends a 12 volt 600A/115 minimum reserve battery which has a hose to vent gas. Question is do all batteries release hydrogen gas? Second question is can I replace with a battery (if I don't need the hose) I already have and is a 12 volt 765A/95 Min reserve?
Thanks in advance.
