Battery Size

[hillstrubl]

In my 2011 Tahoe (GMT900) I read that OEM was 94R but had an group 48 in it. I replaced with a 94R (had to get the coolant overflow tank out of the way) but unfortunately it still "spills" off of the tray slightly. It is TIGHT in there. The group 48's slightly smaller dimensions definitely were a better fit. Yes I have 60 more CCA but if I did it again I'd do a 48.

I didn't have any trouble getting a new 94R into our 2018 by laying it on its side, as others have suggested. The factory flooded battery didn't leak a drop when I laid it on its side to get it out, either. Took 10 minutes max to do the swap.

I assume you meant a non-flooded 94R? Even if I laid this one I bought on its side (I wouldn't do that with a flooded battery) you'd have to change around the battery tie down(s) (not use the factory one) but you'd still have the same issue with length where it sits on top of the right side (aka front of tray) lip.
