Yup! And car is starting up maybe a tenth or two of a second faster now.
Just worried same thing might happen to this new one though, if the root cause isn't just the oem battery at end of life.
I mean, it felt perfectly fine and always registered 12-14v to the car while running. Until it suddenly didn't and died.
Maybe I should get a battery tender / new jumper for the oem one and pop it back in? Currently somehow registering 11.9v now.

Hmmm, I'll go find a new brz from a dealer and take a pic to compare then.
Thanks for the warning, I just hooked it back on the way it was, didn't think it might be wrong/damaged.
