Not sure really. It definately does not look like the orginal battery. Thats actually my feelings on it but I have not had a chance to get it anywhere yet. I did price one out though....OUCH!!

I will definately being installing myself. It not worth what these places want to take a battery out. I slid it out in a little of no time and some idiot and the cheverolet tried to convince me it had to come out from the top back last year. LOL, that little side panel makes life a lot easier.
