[s-cars] battery replacement due

[Eric Rechlin]

You can still get the original Varta-made batteries from the dealer.  I just 
bought one about two months ago.  $168 plus tax.  Part number is 
191-915-105-AB-D according to my receipt.

I always buy the OEM ones because they still manage to last 6 years in the 
Houston heat and I know they are the right size and have proper venting.
