Should I stick with the 91, or upgrade to what most car part stores are recommending (a 94R is what Napa and AutoZone recommend).

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Howdy, Long time since last post. I need to change out my 2003 C4S battery, and looking both online and in the forums unfortunately only has me confused, and the original owner’s manual and paperwork, all of which I still have is absolutely useless on this one. It quotes lightbulb sizes, but not battery size. The old battery is an Interstate Group Size 91, with a vent tube. The internet claims that the 996 can handle Group Sizes 90, 91 or 92, which are equal to Sizes 47, 48, 49, respectively. From what I see, the difference in size, from smallest to largest, means more cold charge applied. The internet also claims that my battery can be “updated” to a sealed (tubeless) battery, or a top-of-the-line AGM, if I want to pay. So, here’s the question(s): 1. Does size matter? Should I stick with the 91, or upgrade to what most car part stores are recommending (a 94R is what Napa and AutoZone recommend). 2. Do I need the vent tube? Can I upgrade to a sealed battery instead? 3. Is there a “best” or “right” answer to, “what battery belongs in my 996?” If I had to guess, a sealed Group Size 48 / 91 would be just fine. Yes? Thanks a ton, Peter

POST 2Original post

The AGM battery is the way to go, no maintenance or corrosion issues ever. Something like the Duralast Platinum Battery H7-AGM Group Size 94R 850 CCA or Optima 34R 800 CCA is correct.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks; will go with that. Much appreciated.

POST 4Original post

Wouldn’t an AGM battery still need to be vented?
