    I have talked about this before. Costco battery is made by interstate a good company. The battery is $89 bucks cheaper than any other battery. The one I used before that fit perfect is NLA. There could be another one that fits but I did not bother to try. I used #852154 because they also fit my diesel Ram 2500. This battery is a bit too tall but has good cranking amps for our V12's. You can make this battery fit decently as shown. Battery is tight and does not move. The + terminal can be altered or it is OK to hit the plastic where you can see it just barely touches. An ideal battery would be 1" shorter than the 852154 but the one they had was only 450CA. This battery is double that! That square thing with the red LED is my Harbor Freight $5 trickle charger that I hardwired. You can get details here:

    Isn’t it a little optimistic to have the + touching the chassis? Or is it plastic? I had the fastener come loose on my battery in another car and the battery moved forward and the + touched chassis and the car almost took fire! Very very dangerous if let’s say that happens in a big tunnel with hundreds of cars.
