Junkyard battery score, will it fit?

Got this Diehard battery dated 8/2020 for $25+core charge. Putting it in an '05 New Jetta 2.5 that calls for an H5 battery. Should this 91 size fit?

Thanks but no mention of H5 let alone H6 thru H8.

I made a purchased that may not be applicable to my vehicle but I "scored". OK...................

It probably won't fit since an H5 is a group 47 in the US terminology which is 9 11/16 x 6 7/8 x 7 1/2 (L x W x H) and a group 91 is 11 x 6 7/8 x 6 7/8. So the group 91 you got is over an inch longer and a little shorter than a H5.

1) I always can use another battery even if it won't fit on this car.
2) That's $60 on Facebook all day long if I don't use it.

Regardless of if it fits or not a group 91 battery is a big battery with a big price tag so a one year old one for $25 is a great deal.

The diesels use the H6 so that's not a problem.

Fit like a glove.
