Changing the Battery

Any advice as to which battery to get that would fit an 07 S Fit?

First time changing a battery, any advice to avoid it beign my last time?
Plan to unscrew the bolts from battery then remove the secured panel. It should come off easily afterward right?

I am changing mine too. Looking at a Bosch 38AH s4. Friends advised to start car first then remove battery to keep all setting/data intact without resetting.

Maybe on a 68 Chevelle, I wouldn'd do it on a modern car.

Not a good idea on a modern car with a lot of electronics. Is losing your radio settings and clock that big of a deal?

Also danger of shorting power wire while changing battery.

To OP: should be simple, unplug neg cable first and plug neg cable back in last. Make sure you don't have battery backwards or something, not much else to it.
