my car did not want to start properly today after sitting 3 weeks without moving so i ran to nearest autozone and got H8-DLG duralast battery instead - all for all is $150, non-essential money.

to save you couple of scuffs on your hands - do not undo battery mount plate - you will see that h8-dlg is longer than stock battery so there is no nut down there where battery mount little plate`s bolt should go. other 3 holes do have `em but they are all welded down there so all you should do is to get an extra m8-1,25 nut and use it there.

car cranks now 5 tiimes faster than it was before with old battery fully charged, so probably it was time for my '06 car to get a new one anyway.
