We know you need a vented battery if the one being used is the type we've used in vehicles for years, but if it is truly sealed then I'm not so sure.

Use a vented battery, but buyer beware.
I replaced the battery in April with another Motorcraft BXT-66-750. The battery I replaced had been installed in August 2014 by a dealer, but I noticed it had a manufacture date of March 2014. I called 3 Ford dealers and the Lincoln dealer. All had the battery in stock, but when I asked them to check the manufacture date, the latest was April 2017. The Lincoln parts manager admitted that the battery she had should have been replaced long ago. I finally ordered a new one which arrived a day later with a manufacture date of February 2019.
This is apparently a low demand item that can stay on the shelf for a long time. Buyer beware.
At the end of the day, the prorated cost for the new battery was $56.29 including sales tax. Proration was based on the original installation date, which one of the dealers had the gall to use as a reason to try to sell me a 2016 battery to install in 2019. No thank you.
