Finally finally finally changed my battery.

Been having problems where I couldn't start my car if I left accessories on for a very short time.

The final straw was when I left the hazards on for about 8 minutes and that was enough to make it so I couldn't start my car and it was 45 degrees out.

Took about three times as long to move the crap out of my car as to actually installing the battery which was much easier than I anticipated.

After Consulting consumer reports which gave High marks for the Duracell premium AGM I found one at Sams Club for $70 less than in stores.

Fortunately my car is old enough I don't have to mess with registration.

I was originally going to change the battery with a charger hooked up so I wouldn't have to reset anything but in the end I just let my car reset.

Difficulty was about 2 out of 10 very easy. I folded on the seats so I can flip the spare up inside. Took about 20 minutes start to finish.
