Battery replacement found

I found a Z8 exact-fit replacement battery at our local BatteriesPlus store. It's the RayOVac Maximum Group 49, model number SLI49H8. $134.99. They are at www.batteriesplus.com. 100% exact fit, including the vent tube. 850 cold crank amps, 2 year free replacement warranty, 65 month prorated replacement. Here in Seattle, I shopped at their Northgate Way store - Brett Cooper is the manager and he's super helpful.

Interesting, and an attractive price. I figure my 2001 is about due. She's on a tender for the winter and seems plenty strong still. But, comments from others leave me feeling less and less secure.
