Nice!

The BCI chart I have indicates the H8 is the DIN equivalent of an
BCI group 49 - so they are _supposed_ to be the same. Thus either
one should "fit like it was made for it". Make me wonder about
the AutoZone battery.
Here is a chart I built showing the DIN and EN numbers as well as
the BCI. I have failed to figure out why there are two DIN
numbers...
NOTE 1: all of these batteries are 175 mm wide, so I did not
list that dimension.
NOTE 2: The batteries with a "b4" holddown may be a problem
for 123 cars. I don't know the clamping range of the
factory clips.
NOTE 3: This chart is in the same order as the last listing -
descending volume as calculated from the maximum
exterior dimensions. With all else equal, greater
volume should equal greater capacity - unless the
calculated volume does not compare to the internal
volume.

b2 - ?? high, short side only
b3 - 10.5 mm high on long and short sides
b4 - 19.0 mm high, long side only
