Replacement Battery

[ORRadtech]

I just looked at that battery and put in my car's info and it says it will not fit my car. Did it say the same for you?

I entered my '18 EB Premium in and it says that it fits. To be clear, I'm referring to the AGM battery from AutoZone.

The battery in our car is a 96R size battery. Any 96R battery is going to fit like OEM. They're all going to be 590 - 600 CCA.
The nearest larger capacity battery in physical size is the H5/47 size battery with 650 CCA. Its length and width measurements are within 1/16" of OEM. Their height is 5/8" - 3/4" taller and reportedly allow the battery box cover to fit with just a slight upward bulge. One member here said that he was able to use a heat gun and reform the cover to fit as it should. The 50-60 extra CCA should help the starter spin the engine faster an do so in cold weather too. Also, to a certain extent, the battery should last longer before its capacity falls out of a usable range.

I've had good luck with the Costco Interstate batteries over the last few years, regular lead acid and AGMs. The total cost of the battery is the same or less than a comparable battery from a parts store, including the cost of the membership. As a bonus, I save money on fuel and rotisserie chicken and pizza.

I've also used Walmart EverStarts with good performance in other cars. Price is also better than a parts store battery.

Personally, I would not buy a battery from a place that I could not return to get a warranty. 5 year warranty on an Amazon lithium battery sounds great until your battery dies 1 hour from home or the random reseller/relabeling company doesn't exist in 6 months. Walmarts are everywhere.

The problem for me is that lately WalMart hasn't been carrying what I need in stock. And there are at least 4 within a 15 minute drive.

My 2018 GT battery has been giving me some issues. I’m not too familiar with batteries honestly, I recently hardwired my dash cam so that it stays on almost 24/7. I’m looking for a replacement battery that can handle that as well as Michigan’s cold winters. Any recommendations?

Hi, so if my math is correct, you have an 8 year old battery??? That might go in the record books!!!!

About six months ago I stumbled across a Maxx T5 battery at Wally World 650CCA. Seems to be as good or better than the 96R spec and fits perfectly in the space. Something to consider if your looking for something besides 96R option.... YMMV

One of my vehicles is a ‘97 Tacoma, 29 years old . It has a 2.7 L engine PS & PW…..that’s all. It takes a 700 CCA Battery. Meanwhile my Mustang which is loaded with factory electronics takes a stock 590-600 CCA battery. WTH. What are these engineers thinking. Is this for cost cutting or what ???
