I used "Autocraft H7-AGM" which looks identical. I paid about $150 after discounts, so 149.76 seems a fair deal. I've had no issues.

I have Duralast platinum from Autozone. I have for 2.5 years and don't have any issues. I think I paid around $150 as well after all discounts.

That's what batteries cost these days. Advance Auto & Autozone often have deals for percentage off if you purchase online & pick up at the store.

Just coincidental that I bought my battery exactly a year ago today, and Pep Boys had a 35% off coupon at that time. And after I paid only $127, there was a $30 mail in rebate. Net was $97! Look for coupons for this year?

Yup, this is the one I've put in both cars. Comes out to $150ish as well.

I bought an H8-DLG when my old battery died in the ZHP. Worked great and had more cold crank amps than the stock battery.

I have a NAPA that’s going on 8 years old. I’ll check the exact date when I get home but, it’s only the second battery in my 2003. When it dies, I’ll replace it with the same.

34337Contrary to what is recommended on Walmart site, I got the everstart Maxx H8. It's cheaper than the h7 and a better battery. And it fits just fine

I used the Autocraft Platinum H7-AGM when I replaced mine in the ZHP last year.
I just put the Autocraft Platinum H8-AGM in the E39 today.

Supposedly AGM batteries don't need to be vented, which is a good thing because my ZHP doesn't have the venting hardware anymore. Plus they're supposed to last longer.

That NAPA battery was purchased on 11/29/2010 @ 88,452 miles. Got 159,2$$ on it now.

Any difference between the AGM battery from Autozone vs Advance Auto? I do not have a local NAPA or Pepboys store close to me.

OT: I really want a lithium car battery. They are just too expensive right now.

I don't think you can go wrong with either one, IMO.

Battery died on me yesterday, and won't take a charge... Going to grab one of those in this thread unless there's a newer recommendation?

Also - I heard from a friend the computer needs to be told when a new battery is installed, but I read on E46Fanatics that this is only on E90 and newer models. Which is right?

Battery registration is not needed for E46.

Thanks John.

Yep - still here. Haven’t been active lately… Still have the car and still love driving it - except for when the battery is dead, of course. :biggrin
How’ve you been?

I am good. Still have both zhp. Your old steering wheel was successfully re-wrapped in leather and installed on my wife's car.
