Thanks to all for your thoughts!
I will indeed have the dealer check charging, leakage, etc., though I would think this has been done at the checkups faithfully paid for every 5K miles.
I do note that the vent line was simply stuck UNDER the warranty replacement battery, rather than being connected! The vent line is now connected to the battery.
In this case, not much ignition-off stereo, but definitely some dome-light use when unloading in the garage...of course, shuts off after one hour.
Re. a backup battery...I recently ordered a Ford E350 XLT van for our large family, and was able to order a SECOND BATTERY, mounted on the chassis, just in front of the right rear wheel. Nice to know it's there.
But for the Saab, I bought some jumper cables!
