    Interstate MT5 48/H6 - perfect fit, correct terminal location, 760 cold cranking amps, 950 cranking amps, black case (transfer OEM decals for original look).

    These things eat batteries. Date code on the battery I am replacing is March 2016 so 1.5 years usage. Kept on the OEM trickle charger most times. Third battery in five years; crazy!

    Totally dead and barely able to start the car after a 24 hour charge.

    This is exactly what I needed. Where did you end up buying this battery?

    That Interstate MT5 48/H6 is listed for 2010-2012 MY, and no listings for 2013-2015 in their catalog. Are the batteries still the same for 2013-2015?

    Yes. That is the exact battery I just installed in my 2013 Italia.
