The AC Delco Professional series battery
Why:
It is a high quality battery, it fits properly, the terminals are correct and the tie down is correct, & good warranty. Simply put, it is the correct battery for the car.

I moved the labels from the Delco OEM battery and stuck them over the Interstate labels to fool people. They fit perfect.

My OEM Delco died suddenly with no warning right at 3 years. Because I've had issues with sudden death and leaky Delco batteries (with side terminals), I have no problem with using another brand. I did some research and found Interstate brand makes one that dropped right in. The terminals are in the right position and it was the same size.

Seems like the factory batteries are on a 36 month timer.
