Has anyone here had to find/replace a cappy battery in Canada?
If so, what did you end up with? |

What size did you get? 'cause I don't see a BCI group 54 battery with JIS "pencil post" terminals anywhere on there. |

I went to Canadian Tire 2 years ago and bought a small tractor battery, work just fine. I can give you the part number if you want. |

I love Canadian Tire. I bought a mahoosive tool kit from there and brought it back in my luggage allowance 45kg
walked straight through nothing to declare
saved over £500 for the same toolkit in the uk. |

Oh, I see - you've got the tightening bolts through the L-terminals... that never occurred to me! Ooh, it's only $60! Sweet. |

What I did is buy a Battery for a Honda Fit. They are a little bit higher, but it does not bend anything. I however had to replace the terminal on the cables. |

I did come across that as an option - but they were stupidly expensive...
I didn't end up having to replace the battery - what I thought might be a battery/alternator issue was actually a bad ground on the stereo (stupid Best Buy installer...). |
