Battery Replacement - Public Service Announcement

I've seen a number of threads concerning battery replacement and the confusion regarding which Interstate battery to use.

Well, my 5 year old Moll Porsche OEM battery finally refused to hold a charge last week. As a result I searched and researched for the proper Interstate (my chosen manufacturer) battery. I saw a lot of confusing threads regarding MTP-91, MTP-93, MTP-H7, MTP-H8, etc.

I decided after talking to my local Interstate retailer, Interstate Factory Rep and checking the physical and electrical characteristics to go w/ the Interstate MTP-H7. It's sized perfectly (fits the OEM footprint) and it's CCA is better than my Porsche OEM battery.

It has a 24 month (no cost) replacement and after that an 85 month pro-rated warranty. I didn't compare the weights to the Moll battery but my 'grunt' scale (lifting it out) suggested the Moll was heavier.

Product ID: MTP-H7(Automotive Truck)
Short Description: Interstate - 85 Months
Cold Cranking Amps: 640
Voltage: 12
Termination: A
Pro-rata Warranty: 85
Weight: 46.3
Width: 6.89
Length: 12.4
Height: 7.48


This is simply public service announcement. I have no interest in Interstate and the accuracy of the specifications are not guaranteed.

I'm just all charged up (pun intended) that I was able to find an 'exact' replacement in size w/ better performance & warranty.
