Hi,

If you look at the attached pic, it shows the specifications for the battery the vehicle came with. It is a group size 78. It will have side terminals as well.

If you contact a parts store with the year make and model of the vehicle, they will be able to set you up. Actually, many of them will install it for you free of charge.

Note: The specs below show cold-cranking amps equal to 600. That is a minimum. It's like money in the bank. The more the better. LOL

Here is a link you may find helpful. It explains how to replace one.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need help or have questions.

Take care,
Joe
