Holy crap. You guys paid a ton of money for a replacement.
All I did was take measurements of the stock Panasonic battery and then go to Advance Auto parts.
Once there they had a plethora of normal non-vented and vented batteries (remember a lot of BMW and Mercedes and even the Miata have vented non-under the hood batteries). I chose one of the vented batteries and its dimensions were IDENTICAL to the stock Panasonic.
I ended spending about $160 for the battery and all I had to do was swap the location of the plastic nipple from the right to the left side.
If you guys want a picture for the exact battery I have, I can supply one later.

I would love pictures and/or a part number of the battery. I work with auto parts daily and my battery is on it's way out, I would love to replace it with something similar for a fraction of the cost.
See above, do you have part numbers? I can get my hands on Delco batteries and it would be ideal as they have wicked warranties.

I've used a Braille GU1R for about 3 years now. Works great for me. Other than saving around 30lbs in weight, it also doesn't discharge at all when i let the car sit for the winter. I installed a battery kill switch so i just flip it when i'm parking the car for more than a week or so and then its perfect when i want to drive it.

The PC680 kits work great as well though for maximum weight savings. As long as a charger is kept on the battery when sitting for longer periods of time, or at least left disconnected and inside where its warm.
CTEK makes great chargers for a cheap price. We have had small batteries that were properly maintained last 8+ years, and batteries that were left dead in the cold last for 2 weeks, it all really comes down to how well you maintain it.

I mean, if you want to open your wallet and grab the lube, there are the new lithium antigravity batteries:
https://antigravitybatteries.com/pro...tive/ag-35-rs/
Now you get charging circuitry IN your battery.... should last longer and has circuitry to keep it form going dead. Built-in reserve for jump starting your car. Some really neat stuff... just not $900 after tax neat IMO

Yup, optima redtop group 35 is the go to. Fits fine and has plenty of amps.
