Default 12V Battery

Did anyone have trouble replacing the 12V battery? I saw a review on the Advance Auto Parts website that said their battery was too tall and didn't fit in a CT. Nothing came up when I searched this forum.

Just use a tape measure and measure the 3 dimensions and compare against the one at the store.

Make sure they are the same specs regarding amps.

Usually just match the GROUP number.
