Was looking at grp 49 batteries at advance auto today, and was disappointed by their old stock. Was checking out the variety of batteries on the rack, and saw that they have an H9/95R (grp 49 is also an H8). It appears to be a bit wider and higher than the H8. The AAP H9 batteries are JCI, every single filler cap is exposed, which I like, and it is Made in Germany.

Has anyone tried to fit a 95R in a w123? It's specs are a bit better than h8 batteries.
