Thanks for making this thread, Meister. It will come in useful when my 7.5 year old battery finally decides to give up the ghost :popcorn:

Good info on the Braille Battery, thanks. I never heard of it, but it looks like it will fit and should work great. It's an AGM battery so it's obviously more expensive (double the price basically of a wet battery).

Whats the shitty battery walmart sells?... fits perfect and was cheap. Had it for 3 years so far. /shrug

Cheaper than the OEM battery, and about $150 more than a high quality johnson controls battery of the same size. Exide/Die Hard are a bout 160 cheaper. It's got like 15-20% more output and reserve to boot. I'd say its well worth the extra $$ if you use the X's electronics when the engine isnt running.

So far, Jegs had it the cheapest at $285 (when I bought mine a couple months back).

Not the most informative post on X outpost.

I didn't check the warranty information. That was a big decision in getting the Exide Global Extreme.

:iagree: i was being exceptionally lazy when i posted that :thumbup: so I did some looking and the battery I purchased 3 yrs ago is no longer available. Its now the
