I drive a Gen1.... no such thing as seating position resets... or sat-nav.... radio and window are easy to fix....
Thanks for the battery info though! Still rocking original battery from 2006!

Did you have to pick the position of the positive and negative?
Got rice bitch?!?
take it to your local Battery world. They can perform a Load test (usually for free), this will give you an exact idea of the current condition and load capacity of the battery.
EDIT: If you are after a nice little handy man side project, you can buy a kit to build your own tester from jaycar.
Strongly do not recommend if you are not confident with electricity.
Remember... car batteries can kill!
and a additional side note* Battery condition is not determined my output terminal voltage....
you cannot get a multimeter and measure your 12.6V and say "yep its fine".
Its all about measuring the voltage drop once load is applied.
i.e. Good battery - Terminal voltage of 12.6V, when turning over, should only have a 0.2V drop across terminals (still at 12.4V)
Bad battery - Terminal Voltage of 12.6V, when turning over, will drop below 12V... probably around the 9-11V mark.
If you have a second pair of hands you can get somebody to start your car while you have a multimeter across the terminals and monitor the Voltage drop.

Where did you purchase your yellow top from by the way?
eBay ^^
Thanks, I'll just go with the ebay shop that @RedDjinn linked and get the yellow top from there.
Here we are

I've got a Fullriver hc28 battery for my other cars,
same as an Odyssey pc925 but only $180
that thing could crank the titanic over after 50 years under water.
You will have to mod the battery clamp if you get one of these but they are wikid.
About 7" square and 5" tall
1/2 the weight of a normal battery and twice the crank.
Factory batt in the 08 mps3 is getting sluggish so it will be getting a Fullriver soon.

Make sure, you get JBR battery plate as well. Makes it so easy to work around..
Tap that...
