Hey Guys,
The battery in my CL-S is going bad, so I went to Advance Auto Parts to pick up a replacement. They had Size 24 AutoCraft Gold batteries in stock, and I was going to pick one up.
However, their system showed the battery as not being compatible. It only showed the Optima Yellow Top battery, and had a note saying that the OE battery was vented and this was necessary.
The cashier said that if I installed a non-vented battery like the AutoCraft, I could screw up my electronics. Is this true? Any recommendation of a reasonably priced battery that would work? I checked Autozone and their Duralast gold didn't appear to have vents (however their system shows it as compatible), and neither did the Everstart Maxx battery at walmart (Unless I didn't look properly). Is my best bet to grab a battery at the dealership?
Thanks!
