NO, that is a wet cell battery and not an AGM. It's not any better than your current battery

Sam's should have something that will fit, just take measurements of your current battery and get an AGM that's the same size or smaller

sorry yeah i didnt mean i was going to get it haha,

so i would ask for a group 75 agm battery, and how much better would this be then what i have now?

can i get anything bigger, or no because i have no room?

i want to make sure im not going to buy a battery for nothing when i already have one under the hood, but i have a new alternator coming and want to upgrade, so im thinking i need a new one, i just want to get a decent one so i dont have to upgrade it again, thanks.

As long as it's an AGM and near the size of your current wet cell battery you should see huge improvements in your voltage. See if they have a group 75 and if not a smaller one will be fine. If you ever need more battery capacity you can add a group 31 battery in your trunk.

Okay thanks for the input, now when i would go to add one to the trunk why would i get a group 31 and get a group 75? wouldnt 75 be better cause its bigger?

thanks! i think im gonna goto sams in a couple hours, does anyone know if i need to print the day pass or can i just show up and shop lol.

also im wondering if i should get top or side terminals, current ones are side

A group 31 is actually larger. The group number is related to the dimensions of the battery, but larger numbers aren't neccessarily bigger.

true, i really appreciate your guys inputs.

this agm under the hood i will never have to upgrade it right? id like to put a 4 or 5k rms system in eventually, and this will be fine as long as i add extras in the trunk correct

i think you are worrying too much, go to sams ask them what is the biggest agm battery they could put under the hood and call it a day. then later on when you need to put batts on the trunk, get the biggest mutha facka out there lol
