Default Does the battery overflow drain tube need to be connected?
I just installed a new Interstate Mega-Tron Plus battery. The stock battery had a overflow tube plugged into it. My new Interstate battery does not seem to have a spot to plug this tube in.

Does this tube need to be plugged in? What have others done when they replaced their batteries?

Is your Interstate battery a sealed design? If so, no tube needed.

What do you mean by "sealed design"?
