So my battery died today. Had an interstate MTP-91. It was only a year old, so I got it replaced for free. There was fluid leaking from it. They no longer make the MTP-91 and the recommended size from Interstate is now a MT-47H5. This battery is significantly smaller than the last. Only takes up 1/2 of the battery tray. It works though. The old battery took up the entire tray. The person said maybe it was too big and thats why it could of been leaking. Either way, the new one works and has a warranty on it as well. Any comments or ideas?

That is a correct size. Should have 520 CCA.

Make sure it was installed properly with the clip.

Group 47 or 48 is what I always roll with.
