But the dealer needs to do some programming to tell the computer you have a new battery so that the car doesn't over charge it.
Unfortunately they had me over a barrel so to speak. The car was already there and throwing a crap ton of codes. Had I had time to research things, I probably would have bought the battery elsewhere and had the car programmed at an indy shop. But they also replaced a fuel pressure sensor for free so I don't feel so bad.

Only on this car is $370 for a new battery considered a "deal."
I bought one with exact matching specs for $110, installed myself and got a friend to code it for free. A little DIY goes a long way.
