94R or H7.. The H8 will fit with a little rework..
I dislike the newer Interstate batteries>> they don't last as long as they use too. For mild climates they might work well. I would prefer the US made East Penn units (thus my opinion based on how many dead Interstates I have pulled out).

also this one but autozone webpage states it doesnt fit my vehicle. You have any thoughts on Duralast?

I may go to Pep boys and just get the Bosch as I cannot find a vendor for East Penn. Any idea where I could order one?

IF you are interested in Lightweight Lithium Battery then we have something to check out... Antigravity Batteries. https://antigravitybatteries.com/pro...es/automotive/
- 8-10 year lifespan,
- WIRELESS Built-In Jump STarting so you will never come back to a dead battery again... Even if battery drains you will not be left straded... just press the provided Wiresless Keyfob and start the car, and drive away.
- Weighs 30lbs less than an H6 battery and up to 37lbs LESS than a 94r (group 49)
- 2x the cranking Power of a similar sized LEad/Acid Battery
- Drop in OEM fitment... not need to modifications fits in using existing mounting.

Any updates to best battery for 996TT. My battery is on its way out and I want to replace it before it really dies. I am hearing AGM is better and 790 CCA. Any issue with a heavier CCA battery? Also what's the best one to fit without modifying anything but still more potent? Only the one mentioned above?

The car sat most all last winter ad car started fine every week or two, no drama.
Had to jump once when I let it sit for over a month but then drove 30 minutes and it was fine.
Less issues than I had with a two year old Interstate, that one would make my radio/CD player act up ad loose settings, AG battery has not done that.

Kevin I cant find that other diehard battery.
How about this one? Will this fit without modification? Any ideas on Optima batteries? Used to run them 10+ years ago
