51R - Kirkland
Installed a 51R. Stock 2013 battery was on its last legs. Didn't want to go into winter with something that would have one time worked for me...before kids.
Thought I'd be at this longer than it took.
Stock tray out.
51R slid in.
Removed positive cable clip and moved it down a bit to reuse it.
There's a slight gap between air box. Doesn't look like it. But I was able to fit a thin piece of metal between.
It does touch the light housing. Which I'm okay with.
If theres anything I should add to make this more reliable. Shim the bottom of the battery.. or whatever. Besides cutting away at the stock metal tray. Let me know!
Thanks

Hi everyone!
So I think I may have left one door not completely closed last evening after running a few errands (stops and go of less than 5km each.) This morning the battery was drained (radio asks for a code.) I know the alternator is good as it's pushing a steady 14.6+. After reading the various threads on the the 151R/51R, I'm totally sold on buying a 51R and making it fit. It's funny because CT over here only sells one 151R at 158$CA (Part #MOT151R) while the 51R has 5 choices, from the cheap 119$CA to the yellow top at 335$CA.
I'm here for a recommendation. My 2009 is at 228k KM and still have a few years in it but I don't see myself still driving it past 3-4 years unless I'm lucky. I was wondering if putting in the Motomaster Eliminator AGM at 210$CA (Part #ELU51R) was worth it since by just putting the cheapest option at 119$CA (Part #CER51R) already upgrades the CCA to 410... and I can get two of those for the price of the AGM. That said, the only reason for owning that car is these small stop and goes during the winter for which the AGM excels (more RC and cares less about being drained.)
Your thoughts?
Cheers!

If I were you. Aiming for another 3-4yrs. Just stick with the OEM sizing, and get it from CT. You can get 2 for the price of one good AGM.
Honestly. I would have stuck with OEM. Just happened to buy the wrong battery at the time.
Considering I got 6 years off the OEM battery. I think it's more than enough. Just make sure your doors are closed !!
Good luck!
