Don't just get a new one, get a Red Top. They'll never leak. Most important: They look way cool. Changing batts. doesn't usually cause problems. You will have to reprog. your radio stations though.Reddy Kilowatt says "a Red Top under the hood makes your wiring feel good!!!! "

I may just do that even thought the car is under warranty. Anything I should know before diconnecting the battery ? It's an '03 w/the AGM battery in it.

I agree - get a red top. Nothing special about changing the battery - just be sure you have the theft lock code for the radio handy if needed.
