Battery Replacement

Well I had to replace the battery in our 2004 MCS today! I spent some research time to make a good decision on the replacement! I ended up buying a Wal-Mart EverStart Maxx H5 battery with the 5 year warranty, 3 years full replacement and 2 years prorated! It fit perfectly with vent tube and hold down bracket. I hooked my Pulse Battery Saver Maintainer-Charger-Cleaner up to the terminals while making the swap to avoid losing any pertinent info. It all worked like a charm and did not lose any info from clock, radio and computer settings! Just wanted to share this with everyone that might need to replace your battery! Gotta love this forum!!!!
