I just changed mine. Thats what I get for it being a garage queen. Only lasted 4 years,
I ended up purchasing a battery from Carquest. Its their premium platinum battery. It is 800 CCA and has a 7 year warranty. I only paid 145.00.
Its made in the USA and is made by EastPenn.

Lol - let it be known that I have driven it way more this year. Just no quarter mile runs yet, but that will change when the cooler weather sets inDriving your car once in awhile

Thanks!!! I'll have to check them out. Price sounds pretty good too.

I made a list of the 94R/H7 AGM batteries the other day after researching other batteries for the minivan. Since I don't plan to use a wet cell battery in the G8, I didn't bother looking at them. Unfortunately, the Consumer Reports battery comparison from a few years ago didn't include 94R or H7 groups, but it's a decent read for other battery groups for other vehicles.
DieHard 50793
Duralast H7-AGM
Advance Auto Parts/Autocraft H7-AGM
There is a fair chance that all the above are actually the same battery made by Johnson Controls.
Exide Edge FP-AGML4/94R. This is the only one on this list with a 4 year warranty; others have 3 yr. It's the most expensive too.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the AGM batteries.

Just checked consumer reports for the latest and greatest, again no 94R or H7 ratings, but in the other groups:
Diehard Advancec Gold in 2 categories
Diehard Gold one category
Everstart Maxx 2 categories
Interstate Mega-Tron II in one
