Hello All,

It seems as if my battery needs to be replaced, but I am having some confusion with it. I would like to go as OEM as possible, as the battery my previous owner put in, and Exide battery, lasted about 7-8 years. Upon some research, I saw the Exide Edge 94R battery as a suitable replacement.

However, when doing a quick vehicle search on the Home Depot website, it says that the battery would not fit my car, despite all the dimensions being totally the same. Would this possibly because something with changing the coding to an AGM-type battery?

Also, it seems as if I don't have a breather hose in my battery compartment. How necessary is this?

Thank you!

Edit: here is where I found the batteries in research
