Battery size

[Pete R]

My battery finally died. I want to pick one up on the way home but don't have the car or any info on the battery. Does anyone know the group or size of the battery? thanks

the MAXX-H8 at Walmart fits perfectly and is relatively inexpensive

Good price too. I got mine there a few years ago. It's a rather large battery!

if your car takes the longer battery,
make sure to get the longer replacement.

Make sure the hold down is installed or damage to the terminals and or a short could result .

NOTE always cover the top of the positive terminal with some type of plastic shield,
this could prevent the cover from contacting the terminal

thanks guys, installed a very nice looking Wally world battery about $30 cheaper than the next cheapest battery around

Make sure you check the date code on Walmart batteries, last time I looked at a Walmart some were several months old in odd sizes like we use.

I'm seriously thinking about switching to a tiny battery like is used in a boost start box, Odyssey or Hawk.

6/14 already looked

The little batteries are very expensive. Unless you need weight reduction I don't really see much of a benefit

Lbs lost is the same as HP gained.

The really good racing batteries can be expensive, but pretty good ones are much cheaper.

true, you'll be able to get to the Quickie Mart .013 sec faster with one of those

Either that or I start liking salad. Easier to make the battery lose wt.
