Default Battery vent holes

I recently bought a new battery that has two vent holes but I only have one vent pipe. Should I leave the plug in one vent hole or just leave it open? Thanks

Keep one hole plugged and the other connected to the vent tube

^^^ As he said, lave one plug in - attach the vent pipe to the other end.

They come with two in so it doesn't matter which side of the battery the vent pipe is...
