Default Since my car is now over 4 years old - battery time

http://www.odysseybattery.com/batteries.html

I like to replace my batteries at four years rather than risk the PIA problems of having them fail when you need them. (Had a Taurus that failed at the dry cleaners without any warning.)

I went searching for new batteries - seems Sears does not make one for our car. I found a Interstate one but then I found this Odyssey - but it is not cheap.

Please buy a video camera and have it set up when you try to remove your battery from the trunk. I envision a comical scene.

Me too - I suspect it is quite heavy and awkward

Reggie...you edited my comment rather than replying.

But you're right...it weighs 61 lbs. Be careful. When I pulled it out of my B7 S4 (which was located up front) I couldn't believe how heavy it was.
