Can someone confirm if Duracell AGM Battery - Group size 47 (H5) can be used in 2007 HHR LT?
If yes, is it advisable?

thanks. I read several threads but would like confirmation or not.

thanks

 

Yes. I have a group 47 AGM from Sears in mine now.

 

Cool. . . No vent tube issues, right?

 

I ditched the vent tube. My understanding is that the AGM does not release gas. Installed in January of 2015, no problems.

 

Thanks.

 

When installing is there any special consideration with the battery current sensor module?

 

Not sure what your concern is for that. Remove the negative cable first, reinstall the positive cable first, then the negative.

 

I saw the following and wondered if it was relevant to HHR.

"some vehicles require an extra step to tell the vehicle that the battery has been replaced. Newer vehicles have a Battery Sensor Module or similar systems. These systems require recalibration with a scan tool if the battery is replaced. If the system is not recalibrated, the alternator might overcharge the new battery and cause the battery to fail soon after replacement."

Hmmm... Yeah, I'm not sure for your year, I've never seen that here on this site. My 2009 didn't need calibration.

 

Be careful not to touch the positive cable end touch the negative terminal.
It might be prudent to remove the fuse for the RDO #23 interior fuse panel .
My 2007 or 2011 did not require any scans after battery replaced
