I agree like the clean look of the A/C Declo unit.
But never again........ after the positive post failed. Which leaked acid all over the frame rail & fender. Required a full clean, treat, prim and repaint. Made one hell of a mess.
Stock units are JUNK

My AC Delco had the positive terminal leakage and did the same damage. If you get a stock unit...its like a time bomb waiting to go off and ruin your paint.

I went with the stronger Optima yellow top battery. Had to match that damn dipstick color and OEM yellow warnings lettering! It has been bullet proof and really helped out the JL Audio amplifier.
