We are in need of a new battery as lately various electrical grimlins have been occuring! The power steering went haywire a month ago after an hour of radio on and doors open! Then just this evening there is a digital lock symbol on the lower left side of the dash that keeps flashing even after all doors and hatch were checked and locked!

So I did a search and the size recommended was a T5/47? Does that seem right? Also I have always had luck with the Sears Diehard Gold! Pro's/ Con..... Any other manufactures that anyone would recommend?

Thanks.....

 

A weak or compromised battery can contribute to many electric gremlins.

My digitial lock symbol always flashes after I lock mine up.. Even my OM says it's supposed to do that.

 

In 4 1/2 years I never noticed it flashing? Things that make you go hmmmmm.....

 

Many varied opinions on batteries..

When you first lock your vehicle with remote the digital lock symbol is on solid then it flashes until the next time you unlock the door with remote. It's like the LED that flashes on an aftermarket alarm system.

 

Make sure you get one that has the connection for the outside vent. Since the battery shares the same compartment you and your passengers ride and breath in, its important.

 

Optima batteries FTW!

There are few battery manufactures today, easy to put on what ever store brand label it's going to.

Just get the best warranty one you can afford.

 

IMO, highly overated and possibly the worst warranty in the battery industry.......
