Claim 10:
11. A system, comprising:
a sealing nut assembly for securing a battery vent to a battery cover, the sealing nut assembly comprising:
an upper body extending axially from a base and defining an interior channel;
a first fang extending axially from the base in a direction opposite of the upper body, the first fang defining a first fang point formed by first and second fang walls that each extend axially and radially from the base;
an annular flange extending axially from the base in the direction opposite of the upper body and defining a bottom flange surface, the annular flange extending the same axial distance from the base as the first fang so that the bottom flange surface is planar with the first fang point; and
a seal configured to be compressed against the base at a position radially interior of the first fang; and

a compression limiter that extends between the battery cover and the battery vent to provide axial structural support to prevent the battery vent from flexing between the base and the battery cover.
