Good Battery
My battery is leaking and I need to get a new one. Has anyone replaced their battery yet and which one would you recommend.

Disconnect the two terminals, remove battery, insert new battery, reconnect terminals...easiest thing to do to your car. Or if you buy it from sears they'll put it in for free.

Optima if you want something really strong and versatile, odyssey if you want a lightweight battery (not intended for a lot of audio/video equipment).

I can check the battery tests at Consumer Reports, but have to know the Group Number. What battery group is the 350Z?

Had to replace mine last Spring because I hadm't hooked it up to a battery tender for the winter. Replaced it with top-of-the-line Sears DieHard. Did it myself-- it was easy....
