It seems these days it is hard to find a battery less than 80.00 except lawn mowers

Another option is a delco battery, I picked up an exact replacement ACDelco battery for $99 from a local Delco distributor. My dealer near me wanted almost $200 for a replacement New Holland battery...

I can suggest what brand of battery TO NOT BUY !
I have a total of 15 wet cell batteries, and over the past few years, as they periodically fail, I have been replacing them with INTERSTATE batteries.
An INTERSTATE failed on me while visiting in Canada last summer, and I got an INTERSTATE surprise!
The Interstate was a 85 month battery, and failed in the 36th month. I think I paid about $155 when I bought it.
I called Interstate in Canada to find out where to get what I thought would be a free (or nearly free) replacement.
Silly me! Interstate stuck me for $122+ for the replacement.
I could have bought a new battery at Wally World for less, and would have also paid way less than $155 at Wally World for the initial battery as well.
Will I EVER buy another Interstate battery?
NOT LIKELY !!!!!
