All the specs?

I'm sure it fits easily enough, but all the AAA batteries I've ever had are only 1.5 volts.

well at least 800 CCA and BCI group H7 94R. Now that you said that i went and check on it and damn battery is loose! It will freely move back and forth Drive to passenger side fits in the battery box it sits in. Don't think it fits or is there a strap on the factory one?

The battery is secured on the right side (left side, facing the front of the truck), at the bottom with a plastic clamp that has a bolt through the center. The dumbass that replaced your battery probably didn't tighten it down. Hopefully the clamp didn't fall off while you were driving.

800 CCA is the same as the OEM battery and it pretty weak for an H8. You could have purchased an Everstart battery from Wally World for $150. It has 900 CCA.
