Well just installed the new battery and it was a snap! took about 45 minutes, a 10mm and 13mm sockets, no-ox, and felt pads. The Die-Hard was an exact fit, didn't have to use vent tube adapters. Cleaned it all out applied no-ox the everything including the battery tray so we're good to go. Kept the maintainer plugged in so radio started with no code required.

 

Good deal. All is cured with the car, I take it?

 

what did battery cost? Model number? I am about due for a battery...

 

I used a Bosch Size 49. About $120-150 as I recall. Note the parts book indicate the next size up which fits but cannot be secured in the tray because there's no thread in the third hole of the tray.

 

Yes all is good.

 

I got it for $160.00 out the door. I chose this one because I wanted the AGM(Absorbed Glass Mat) technoology.

Same one I recently put in, excellent battery.

 

Did you consider a group size 48? A bit smaller and lighter?

 

No, I live in the NE and wanted all the juice I could get from the battery considering the cold weather and the lack of driving in the winter.
