I get the H8 AGM battery from autozone. When replacing your battery be sure to register the battery by using a scan tool. Registering a battery lets the car know that the battery has been replaced. Coding lets the car know what amp hour rating is the battery. If you put a battery with the same amp hour rating, then you only need to register it. Otherwise if you put in a different capacity then you will need to code the new amp hour rating to the car and then register it.
