If you think the price of a regular HHR battery is too high, wait till you start pricing an AGM one.

I agree.
Corvettes too had batteries in the interior.
I'm sure other manufactures did also, but with insurance companies and all the legal BS today I guess that's why.

I had an AAA group 47 battery installed, when my OEM battery died in 2011, it died in 2018, so 7 years of service.

Look closely on you 47 battery, many have the hole on the ends for a vent. They don't always come with the straw.

Wal mart had good prices I hate to say
But you have to deal with the core charge and service desk PIA but if you hit it at the right time...
47 series with the venting

Mine is a group 47 AGM. Perfect fit. From Sears. Sam's Club used to have them too.
