I had learned about the expanding problem during my own long conversations with the Odyssey techs, but this home-remedy never came up. Thanks for that. I have a smaller Odyssey battery I could adapt in this way.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
