These batteries will lull you into false security.
They work with no warning they are going bad, then out of no where, any time, even after a long drive , "Click Click Click Click...."
This is a common story I have heard from other forum members
Mine was a Walmart parking lot after a 2 hour drive and several years of faithful service.
Now maybe if I had been monitoring the voltage I would have seen it coming

eBay. <$8 Lots of choices.

Nice, can you tell us how you wired it?

I've only replaced the battery in my 2003 S once, since buying it new and went with an Interstate. I always keep it on a CTEK maintainer when it's parked in my garage. Since my car's been sitting in the shop since July waiting for my engine to be rebuilt, I expect it may be time for a new battery when the engine is back together.
