how did it die?

my battery is still going good after 5 years and 56,000 miles

 

Dome light was left on.

I ended up buying a Sears Diehard Platinum,group size 25. Kinda of expensive @ 191 plus tax.
I did google it, but could find the answer.

The specs on the battery
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA at 0 deg.F): 710
Reserve Capacity (RC): 90 min.
Amp Hours at 20 Hour Rate: 48
Months in Use Free Replacement: 48
Months in Use Pro Rated Replacement: 100
Dimensions:
Height:7-9/10 in.
Width:7-1/10 in.
Length:9-1/2 in.
Weight 45 LBS.

Thanks for the info on the group size.

FYI, it does fit. Except the case is about 1/2" smaller in height. I added a 1" spacer on the drivers side battery tie down bracket.

 

If you left your dome light on, I believe you could of saved your self 191 dollars by buying jumper cables instead and get jumped from a different car. I left the radio on in my car thats what I did and fixed the problem.

 

or you could buy a 5 speed and push started

 

Yeah, I could have saved 191. I didn't want her to ever get stuck. She was stranded @ the house while I was at Stafford Va.

The garbage disposal broke when I was outaa town at the same time.

She can't drive a stick, yet.

 

Or you can buy LED domes...I left mine on for ~14hours, the car started right up like nothing happened.

 

Guess, I'll be buying an LED dome light. BTW do ya have the brand n part number?

just put in the make/model/year and the price shows up.
They *are* a little pricey, way more than an incandescent that's for sure, but I have 16 LEDs in the front dome, 14 in the back, and 6 in the oven (cubby) for a total of 36 LEDs lighting my interior. I left my car in the garage at about 11-1130pm and didn't get back out to it till about 330-4pm the next day (16-17 hour total) and the car started without even the slightest delay.
if you tell them Brian with the xA sent you, they might hook you up, Ask for Matt.

 

just changed my 6y/o battery today now my car starts right up just need to try it on cold freezing night

and i only spent 80 dollars on it at BatteriesPlus...
