Battery Size Question
Does anyone know why the battery from the 4.4 is larger than the battery from the 3.0? Is it possible to installed a battery sized for the 4.4 in a 3.0? I'm asking because Interstate Batteries sells a battery for the 3.0i (P/N MTP-H7) for $161.95 and they offer a battery for the 4.4 (P/N MTP-93) which has a better CCA rating and is priced at $116.95. Both batteries have a Pro-Rata Warranty of 85 Months. Any help would be greatly appreciated as my current battery is pretty much done and I need to get a battery ASAP.

Futhermore, slightly jacking Girard's Thread,
what the hell is the actual Group #/Batt # for the X5, esp the 3.0...I'm thinking Group 92 but no clue and pages of reading here haven't really answered my question. I need to replace my nearly 6 yr old batt., soon! My local hillbilly Autozone has zero clue and neither does the Batteries Plus store in Asheville. I gotta find some civilization, lol! Thanks, mD

see this thread for battery replacement info.
http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...ight=energizer Yes, a 4.4 battery will fit in a 3.0. You just use a different mounting hole for the bracket. Don't know why the 4.4 uses a bigger battery. Perhaps the V8 takes more juice to turn over when its cold.

Thanks, Men...
Now, I just have to find one here in western NC. The BatteriesPlus store guy, over in Asheville had me looking at batts that weren't even close; he likes to sell them by "casing measurements". We need a medium tech injection here in this area, lol! I drove to Spartanburg,SC yesterday, jes' to get new tires on my Vette. Discount Tire had a very good price and no one in these border counties could spell TPM or good high speed balancing. Whew... Thanks again; now I just have to find one. BR,mD

Cool. Just picked up the MTP-93 which was meant for the 4.4 and installed it in my 3.0. Fits perfectly. I completely forgot that we're an Interstate Battery dealer in our service department here @ my work so I got it for substantially less than retail.

dont mean to sidetrack,
But if I install 4.4 battery in my 3.0 will it help my situation in regards to amp drawing alot of power and dimming my lights on base notes. I know a capacitor will help and I just ordered one, but will this also help?
