IF you go with the Autozone T6-DLG, don't just throw away the orange plastic piece snapped into the top of the battery over the positive post----until you remove the attached plastic "vent plug" that you fit into the side of the battery. If you want to hook the original vent tube to the battery you'll have to find a plastic fitting to fit the battery. On my 82SC I just lightly fitted the plug in the vent hole of the battery.

Also: If/when you shop this battery at your local Autozone, it will have a round sticker such as "51-15" denoting in true German fashion: "This battery was built in the 51st week of 2015"! So find a "fresh" one!
