i'm going to give it a whirl. I like that it ships sealed with acid and with some quick googling found out it has 283 CCA

edit, just ordered it. I'll report back here on how well it works out.

$40 delivered. Geez Louise, tough to beat that price. Even if it lasts only a couple years....

I've been dealing with www.batterystuff.com in Grants Pass, OR. They seem to be real good folks.

It looks like a good battery. Heck, its 18amp hours. Most batteries I see are 10. So it should last, just wonder what it's cranking amps are.

Check the dimensions - I don' think it'll fit the stock battery tray
Length 7.13in,Width: 3.01in,Height: 6.57in

Typical correct size= Length:8 1/8" Width:2 13/16" Height:6 7/16"

damn, i was comparing with a different supposed oem battery size. It'll be a tight squeeze for sure. I'll report back if it fits.
