Default I replaced mine last week. I couldn't seem to find one that fit at the auto places so I went to the

dealership. I installed myself and it took about 15 min. Just make sure you have an extention for your ratchet. It's also a pain to get out from the middle of the engine bay.

Stock battery also hooks up to a factory vent and costs about the same as an Interstate.

Did you take it out from the side of the car or the front?

Default Battery is replaced with Autozone. Now the car needs a new battery bracket.

Back to Autozone to buy a Lynx bracket kit #00203, as recommended by someone in AW. The stock bracket will hold the battery in place long enough to get to Autozone.

Oh, yes, we'll also deliver the old battery for credit.

Thanks for the input, everyone. I was glad to help with this project, and I appreciate the help I received in turn.

P.S. The stereo is in safe mode, and the auto windows don't do their auto thing. Guess that's the next project.
