I think most of us with a TC33D have acid damage from the OEM battery spitting out acid. It can make a huge mess of not just the battery area but the radiator too, and beyond.

I'd go with a dry cell Odyssey as MikePA said, or an AGM battery like an Optima. If you go with an Optima you need a model 51. A model 51R Optima will work too - it just faces the other way, but the cables are long enough. A larger Optima will fit, but you have to modify the battery tray.
