I just had my battery replaced back in the March timeframe - I went with an Interstate - I forget the model number, but it has been great - the car cranks over much faster than the previous OEM that was replaced a week after I bought my car 2 years ago.

1) do I need to use an external power unit to prevent the radio/nav from locking me out and thus requiring the radio code etc...

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Time for a battery change. Original battery on 40 th anniversary. Not dead yet but want to avoid a jump start etc... 2 questions... 1) do I need to use an external power unit to prevent the radio/nav from locking me out and thus requiring the radio code etc... 2) any recommendations on batteries? Dry cell e.g..? Thanks....

POST 2Original post

Nav system will not need a code. I would find a battery with a good warranty from a store/dealer that has a lot of locations. My old 40th took a group size 48. My store will tell you it is a group size 49. That is wrong. That battery is to long. Make sure the battery you buy have the vent tube connection.

POST 3Original post

Get an Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery and you won't have to have a vent or worry about acid corrosion https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...t-battery.html "I just replaced a good Interstate MTP-H7 With a Braille 7548 AGM battery direct replacement.

POST 5Original post

I just had my battery replaced back in the March timeframe - I went with an Interstate - I forget the model number, but it has been great - the car cranks over much faster than the previous OEM that was replaced a week after I bought my car 2 years ago. I had a foot injury and couldn't get to the storage garage place and warm the car up once in a while - so that killed the battery. Unfortunately no power in the storage unit to use a battery tender.

POST 6Original post

Just remove the battery from the car and keep it nice and toasty at home on the tender. :-)
