I have a sealed battery in my 99 1.8 and it always looks like new with absolutely no corrosion at all. I don't know why anyone would even buy a vented battery these days especially for our cars with the set-up they have. I've just come from my garage where I inspected my top of the battery fuse box and all looks to be in very good and clean condition. The metal strip fuses are specifically designed to melt and stop current from flowing if the amperage exceeds each fuses design limits. In order to protect the connected circuits it is a very bad idea to supplement any one of these strips for anything other than the designed gage strip. Extensive damage can be done to the wiring harness creating one of the biggest messes you will ever see. Be careful and good luck, JK
