Learned something interesting about the group 48 battery today. My Interstate 91 was on its last legs and I did a preemptive replacement with a Sears AGM, 48, which is a taller battery than the 91.
It fit perfectly in the tray and the battery cover would fit perfectly, except.....
Last year I replaced my positive battery cable. The new cable had a different style cable end for the terminal, where the tightening screw and nut sticks up at an angle, about 1/2 inch above the top of the terminal (my old cable and the negative had tightening nuts that were essentially flat to the top of the terminal). The cover stops just short of seating on the positive terminal end.
It's not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it.
And, yes, new battery every three years, like clockwork!
