Ok I needed a new battery and searched the forums and did not find much info......so here's what I learned.
I put in an Optima redtop 34R...R stands for reverse ...as in pos and neg...since our pos is on the right. Fits well in my '05 Gransport....$237 at Autozone. The Optima does not require venting...Many others do.
I do miss my Quattroworld URS4 forum...seems like everyone on there is an engineer with very pertinent and detailed, to the point info. So thanks for some of our informative guys like Jason...who suggests after replacing the battery turn key to position 2, dash lights on, let set for a minute or more to reset stuff then start and run til warm, turn off and try key fob buttons.
Turn the power switch to left of the battery to off, back on when finished. Disconnect neg terminal first, connect it last. You will see a block of box fuses in the way to lift the battery out. You do not need remove moldings to get the battery as some have thought. There is a nut on the right side of the plate those fuses are on, remove it, the other side of the plate is slotted in, simply turn the block of fuses til you can get it loose and then have room to get the battery out.
You will need to put in your radio code again when done. Easy enough....don't let the dealer rape you again for something easy we can all do, unlike setting the PIS on your clutch.
From my reading it sounds like the following will fit....
Interstate MTP-91, MTP 48 H6
Odyssey 34R, PC1500 or PC1700
Napa Bat9848
ACdelco 94RAGM
Duralast 48-DL
DieHard 33348
Energizer 48-L
Autocraft 48/91-1
Might want to confirm fitment, size of the battery. I found not many actually spec a battery for our car...Autozone did not have our car in their computer and other search functions online I found showed nothing for our car.
Best all,
Curtis
