Re: [alfa] 164 Battery

[Jeffrey Kern <the.xtype@xxxxxxxxx>]

I would stick with Interstate.
Consider how long the original lasted.
Interstate part 31P-MHD or 31P-MHO, I think.
Also, the vent hose port will be in the correct location. Which is
something to consider if you purchase another make of battery.
One of the tech bulletins list the correct part number.

I replaced mine a while back. The replacement was ~$90
