himself

Just installed a new battery. My old Moll OEM appeared to be from the middle of 2006, so it was almost 5 years old. I ended up going for the Autozone Duralast 48-DL, which was in stock for $92 [$104 without core].

48-DL is 4.5 lbs lighter and is identical fit.

Install was a breeze. 2/10.

1) Power to the car [probably don't need it but I used it anyway].

2) Unhook vent, battery terminals and mounting bracket at bottom of battery.

3) Slide battery towards passenger seat.

4) Tilt front of battery a bit and remove.

5) Put new battery in the middle/left of the tray, with just a little angle [they have a lip on the bottom that has to fit under a ridge.

6) Slide to driver's side of tray.

7) Reattach vent, terminal leads and bracket. I pulled out the adapter from the previous vent line and inserted the line into the hose that came with the battery.

8) Put cover back on and remove backup power source.

9) Good to go.

Nice. I think i am going to replace mine before the spring. Has a low charge since it is the original battery (6 years) old. Thanks for posting this information.
