Autozone Batteries

[racerden]

It was THAT TIME again yesterday and I discovered two important tidbits about the 2003 Targa/C2 battery and the Autozone Gold Duralasts. 1st, the A/Zone catalog lists two possible applications; an #832331 H8 or an #8323332 H6 battery. The H6 is just under 11" in length, the H8 almost 14" (both are same height and width). My 3rd time replacement OEM Bosch is almost 12". What I didn't know under the battery tray are 3 different location options for the clamp mount. The outer most being the OEM location, center is the H6, God knows what in inner most fits. The longer H8 won't fly at all, the shorter H6 will fit perfectly utilizing the center clamp provision. CCA for the H6 vs. the OEM is the same. So, I paid $154 for the Gold Duralast which has a 8 year warranty and perhaps most importantly an 3 year FREE replacement provision (which I'm sure will be utilized).

Hope it helps.

I got my battery at Pepboys and they had the Bosch in the exact size of the OEM Bosch, I think I paid $118 with a 5 or 6 year warranty as I remember.
