Default Battery
Well, I did a little search for batteries here on the forum and it appears that the Big Crank ETX30L Battery from Battery Mart is the one to get. 400CCA compared to the OEM 270CCA. Two less Ahr at 26 rather than 28. Hope it does the job.

My research indicated the same thing and I am very pleased with the performance so far. While your at it protect your investment and get the Battery Tender Plus as well from battery mart.

Went back with OEM here. 7+ years speaks for itself.

As mine is only 1 1/2 years old I thought I would look around. Try something new. And, with the 103 it seems as though the power on the OEM was pretty weak. My hope is that the 400CCA will make it an easier start.
