Has anyone had to replace their battery recently? I have a 2017 3.6 v6 with start stop and from all searches online there is a myriad of batteries. We tried a Varta F21 however it’s too long by about 25mm. Max length has to be 290mm as the tray for the Aux battery doesn’t allow anything larger.
Most Spec sheets show an F21 or a DIN75LHAGM but they are longer than what you want....
BUT my recent new battery in the diesel was an Exide Evolution unit and I have a listing for 2 batteries in your model, one is too big but the other fits the size your after..... an Exide SSAGM-66EU

Awesome. Thanks for that info. I just ordered the varta E39. Looking forward to getting that in and some more grazed knuckles and pulled shoulder muscle 😂
I had a quote for a Varta at $600 so went the Exide $200 cheaper, mind the Exide was from a tractor machinery shop so usually a better deal........ a lithium would certainly be easier if they weren't so damn expensive...
