New Battery 1983 Porsche 944

I need a new battery. I have found an Interstate, mtp 48 h6 battery. It meets the 6.88 width measurement but it is 7.5 inches in height. Does this fit a 1983 Porsche 944? Thanks. JBC

That's a bit smaller than the original battery. But it would fit given the dimensions. Make sure the terminal placement is correct.

Agree, but the battery must not be higher than 6.88 inches and other than a Duracell at Battery Plus, it is the only one I can find unless a 7.5 inch will fit.

Okay, I think I found one. Duracell Gold 40R Battery SLI40RT6M for $105 and I think I have a 20% discount. Excellent.

The last one I bought was from Napa and it was like $95. Its their legend series and is a direct fit.
