          The ABY has a venting pipe connected to the battery for fumes
          Do you have the part number Rikki ?

                Varta and Bosch are the same battery, Varta branded version is usually cheaper though in the UK.

                        Even though the battery is in the front, the 3B still has a vent tube too.

                            Personally I only go for Bosch batteries. Got nearly 10 yrs from one in the S2 - would have gone longer if car was being used more regularly and I didn't bother with a conditioner etc when it was (is) sitting SORN.
