I replaced mine with a Duralast 34-DL. Got it from Auto Zone. You'll need an extension of some kind for your ratchet wrench to undo the old battery. |

I am open to new battery ideas too. Mine just died after 12 years. Can I get the original one? |

Wow! Ten and twelve years is really pushing the envelope. I recommend the Sears Platinum series of Gel batteries. They utilize what Sears calls Evolution Technology. It has a very unique internal grid and it is very shock resistant. Mine has 880 CCA and 135 RC. The number on the battery is 34/78DT 50090. Its a bigger battery than stock but does fit OK. I am impressed with how long it holds a full charge and how quick my battery tender tops it off to 100% charge. I paid about $125 four years ago. I believe it provides some peace of mind. |

I have the Optima Yellow in two of mine, they have been in there for at least five years and top off fast with the tenders. |

12 years here too and still original. Never had any kind of tender for the winters or anything. Maybe my longest lasting battery ever.Good luck with your new one. Watch, I probably just jinxed it. ------------------ |

I have had excellent luck with Sears Die Hards. The previous one lasted 9 years plus. |

quote: Had 12 years on my original battery too, still cranking well, but "for peace of mind" replaced it with a red top Optima, based on all the reading from various posts at the time. I do use the BAttery Tender though on all vehicle batteries from new. Had an original Harley battery go 10 years - they wanted to send it to the Smithsonian! ha |

yellow isnt the fastest color when your battery is dead. I like Walmart batteries. If you travel away from home a lot you can always get it checked and replaced if under warranty. Some if not all are made by Johnson Controls a major battery manufacturer. |
