What size batteries fit in the e9x?

Battery is on the way out, and looking under the stock battery it looks like there's mounting points for 3 different battery sizes.

True? What size batteries fit?

Group 48, or 49, or 94R

H6 is the same size as group 48, H8 is the same size as group 49. Just alternate names.

Do you have access to someone or yourself who can re-code the car and register the battery? If so then get the H8 size battery and code it for the correct type (AGM/non-AGM) and correct AH (110/90/80/70/60).

You can get the Advanced Autoparts H8AGM platinum battery for about $200 - $50 coupon code (HUGE50) + refundable core + tax.

You can also choose the non-AGM and use coupon code TRT41 for $40 off $100

do not forget to register battery change via diagnostic tools or code new type(AGM) and register battery change if you plan to buy AGM
otherwise battery will be charged depending on old data and die much faster
