Battery in passenger side rear bin

Hey Everyone,

It is time to replace the battery located in the passenger's rear bin.

Just trying to get an idea of options.

For those of you who currently have this setup, what battery do you have?

I was looking for model number of battery people are currently using. I realize some model numbers listed in the posts are no longer made.

WestCo Miata. I had to replace the battery after I purchased it ... I'm not sure what exactly went wrong with it but after a month or so it wouldn't hold a charge. I believe my Alternator killed it. /not sure

I drove down to westco battery (they're near LA) and they pulled another one right out of the warehouse for me w/ no questions asked. Great group of people.


I highly highly recommend them
