Using an incorrect battery can be dangerous I threw a festiva battery into my focus one weekend in early spring because I couln't wait to get the car on the road yaa driving back on the highway car shut down on me i made it over to the shoulder and I see smoke. Battery had shifted and was touching another wire and sparked a little fire. I grabbed the handle on the battery thank god for that handle and used all my force to yank it out and I patted down the rest and the fire was out. Only one wire damged and my old coil pack melted a bit. But yaa be very carefull I won't be doing that again.
