I need a new battery for my Z34, so I go to walmart.com and look for an el-cheapo battery and I bought a series 75N, I picked it up tonight and thought is this the right one....Yes, I have no idea what size is in the car because I really only drive it during the winter, but it needs a new battery. I looked around online and I see that the 75N and 78N are exact fits on advanceauto.com, the only difference is about an inch in length, the 75 is an inch shorter. In some case, an inch could make a world of difference for some things..... Any help would be great, thanks

 

Look up one for a 2001 s10 blazer, they use batteries with the same measurements. Then grab the recomended one that size

 

The real question is:
Which amperage battery would be the right choice!
I prefer between 750 and 800 CCA's mines a 75 series!

Good luck Chris hope it gets you thru the winter...

Need all the amps you can safely run when it dips below 0.

I know from personal experience it gets a weee bit chipper in PA!
especially through the mountainous areas.... Ever been thru the poconos or snow shoe?
I have Plenty of times...Good Luck!
