What is in there now? Just put the same. Most people leave that up to the place where you purchase the replacement battery.

The best battery I ever had was a Willard. I'd never heard of them until I bought a Chevy truck with one in it. When it crapped out on me one winter, I went to Battery World and they replaced it with a Delco. The guy told me that Willard was 7 years old! In my opinion, don't buy a sealed battery, rather one that you can check the electrolyte levels.

I jjust paid $105 for one after doing my due diligence at walmart..made by EverStart...800 crank amps and 3 year 100% free replacement prorated after that.
I will say it cranks that 4.0 xj right over with NO issues ..can let it sit for days, left the lights on, etc.
