    Is the 12 vlt Auxiliary Battery the same in Gen 2 and Gen 3?
    The reason I ask is that in my 2008 the aux. batt. had to be replaced at about 5 yrs.. and it was $250.00.
    I remember reading a thread that said there is a direct replacement batt. from Optima for the Gen 2 so I am wondering if the same batt. would be for Gen 3 when it comes time.
    I'm not paying another $250.00 for a dadgum 12 vlt batt.

    Hmmm, guess this must be a stupid question since no one has posted.
    Thanks anyway
