    Auqa is only used in Japan.

    Other areas all called Prius C as I know.

    Hello I just found this thread after starting new thread about Prius C battery vent. My 2014 Prius C I bought used 12 volt battery died and I was unable to locate a non OEM replacement so bought new OEM Toyota Tru Start battery from the dealer this week for $213 plus tax. I am unable to locate receptor for vent tube on the new battery. Did I miss it or isn’t there one?

    An Aqua is the Japanese market equivalent of the Prius C

    I don't think there is one anymore. I helped the woman across the street replace the 12v in her C a couple months ago. She too got the OEM battery from the dealer here in town. No place on the battery for that tube to connect...

    On my first Prius I bought a battery that was roughly the same size and electrically the same, I then drilled a hole above the correct level line, it worked fine. ( on a 2005 ).
