Im at 70k miles and i think its time to replace my batteries. The last couple times I towed by curt app would say the battery was low. So I started watching it. Regularly the power would drop to 3.6- 3.8 while sitting at a light. But it would jump to 4.2 - 4.6 while driving.
After this last trip, while driving in to work this morning and not towing, I decided to take a look at the battery. While driving, with no trailer attached, The battery stayed at a constant 3.4.
The only "symptom" ive had so far is that i occasionally get a message saying my front blinker is out...when it is not...the LED works fine for a little before saying it doesnt.
Ive read in the foums that some slightly larger batteries will fit. Here are the links of what I am looking at. Can some one just provide a little piece of mind in telling me that I looking at the right ones.

Ive watched a could videos on how to change them and feel confident in doing it my self. My question is will I loose my radio settings and/or PCM settings with BOTH batteries disconnected? I saw in one of the videos where a fella connected a trickle charger to the main batter connections and left that running while he replaced the secondary battery. seemed logical to me, but im certainly no expert.
