Default What did you do to your XJ today ?

Bought a replacement battery today, after my Optima decided to stop starting the engine if it had been running for less than 20 mins prior. Had it for 3.5 years but the battery shop reckons they should last 5-7 years so I might keep it for an under bonnet aux if it comes up good with a proper AC charger.
Ended up with an Exide N50ZZMF 4WD / commercial with 650CCA, 180 min reserve and 70AH. It's an inch taller than my Optima so will try to shoehorn it in with lower profile terminals. GoJeep had issues and made up a lower tray, hoping I won't need to based on my measurements.
