Default Cheap battery may bring headaches

Hello,

Your profile does not say what part of the country you reside in. That being said, I'd suggest using a battery with the correct rating for your car. These cars have a lot of electronics and a less expensive battery may not have what it takes to start / run the car the way it should. The owner's manual will give a rating for it in the technical specs information. Spending a few more $ now may prevent trouble later.

Good luck!
