Group 65 battery in my burb?

[Derick]

Have the opportunity to get a nice duralast gold battery at a discounted price. It looks like the specs call for a 48, but this is a 65....will it fit? Seems like the size is pretty close, I think the width is a hair larger.

the 65 is over 1/2" wider than the 48 so probably not but i'm just guessing

Group 78 Batteries- L-10 1/4 W-7 1/16 H-7 11/16

if that price is not less then $119.99 it's not a good deal

Flooded H6 3 years 2 years prorated
AutoZone
$177.99
Walmart
$119.99

AGM

AutoZone (3 years free replacement 2 year pro rated)
$217.99
Walmart(5 years free replacement)
$149.99


They are both made by the same Manufacture as well even the housing is the same and same manufacturing plant.

except for the warranty on the AGM walmart offers 5 years replacement instead of 3 years


AGM = 760CCA
flooded =730CCA

H6 = group 48
10.90 x 7.00 x 7.50 Inches


Group 48= 11.9 (might be over hang or something?)x 7.5 x 7.6 inches

Bosch Platinum Series AGM Battery Group, Size H7/L4/94R Typically $145 when on sale 25% off. Won’t crap out due to extreme hot/cold. Made by Varta in USA. Use them in all our cars now. Optima’s quality went down the toilet since Johnson Control purchased them and moved factory to Mexico.

The Bosch kisses the coolant overflow tank but fits like a glove for 800 CCA and 4 yr nationwide over the counter, no questions asked replacement. Doesn’t leak if your alternator fails and overcharges it.

Bosch also has the AGM battery in the correct H6 size...looks like Pep Boys stopped selling these so not sure the best place to get. I've had great experience with the Bosch AGM.

Well I got (2) like new batteries for a total investment of 110. One is a duralast gold 880CCA, and the other is interstate 675CCA. Both have date codes within the past 2 or 3 months and tested good at the local oreilllys. I'm going to do the dual batteries...because why not. The specs are 1/2 wider, I'm sure I can make something work.

Keep us posted on fitment, please.

Do you plan on using an isolator?
