Well, I haven't had to replace my car's battery yet, but when I do, I reckon I'll buy one that fits - :iono:

That sounds to easy. When mine goes out I will retrofit it with a super light weight fuel cell that runs on unicorn farts. Total weight is -2lbs, hope it does not affect the handling?

It will dive into left turns but I have heard good things on the unicorn fart tech.

Yea, I am thinking of a way to retrofit it.

Unbolt the wrong posts and bolt on the right ones?

The electrical connector on the negative side is making me think otherwise.

I have no clue what that thing they have hooked up to it does but you can get the 925 with normal posts so I don't see why it isn't a straight swap.

You have the option of either when you order it https://www.batterymart.com/p-odysse...5-battery.html

I have a hint for you. Right now, before you start switching posts and connectors, etch a "+" on the side of the battery near where the "+" pole of the battery really is - so as when, in the heat of post conversion/confusion, you don't hook up the battery backwards...- :D

you can thank Bubba fer that hint

I remember, back in the day, not all automotive electrical systems were negative ground, some were positive ground. And to add to the confusion, some automotive electrical systems were 6 volt and some 12 volt (and yes, @Tcoat, some military electrical systems were 24 volt).

Now, talk about nipple confusion - :confused0068:

The polarity comes molded on the battery nowadays. The tech has advanced considerably over the eons since your military service.

Do you know the purpose of the electrical connector that connects to the negative side?

Wait. You mean the one on our cars not that contraption on the Civic? It is just ground cables. Bolt it back on, change the posts and clamp the cables on.
