Time for a new battery

[Superduper]

Yeah, it's getting confusing, they couldn't help me at Napa, might just go to Deere to be sure. Thanks all.

JB, you might want to look at this one. I posted this before when this issue was addressed and just checked, looks like it's still available:

Adventure Power UB12550 (Group 22NF) Battery - Group 30H Batteries

Resists shocks and vibrations
Will not leak, even if mounted upside down
AGM design (Absorbed glass mat) SLA (sealed lead acid) design
55 AH rating
670 Cold Cranking Amps
850 Marine Cranking Amps

It is the correct group size but the hold down might be different so you might need to implement a bracket mod... I've seen others use a heavy rubber bungy cord or a few simple automotive style brackets/rods availabe at any Kragens, etc. It's a little on the expensive side but if you compare the specs, I think you'll be hard pressed to find one better spec'ed or featured.

The length and width are right on, as long as it has the tabs sticking out on the lower sides it would drop right in, don't know if I want to spend that much though, if I had a greater electric load like an inverter or a lot more acs lights I'd go for it, Deere gets $90. now for the strong box.

To follow up, I went ahead and got the Deere Strong Box for $87.+ tax, they said 3-4 years is all I should expect from this battery. The only problem is when I got it home, 2 of the cells were bone dry and since I know they had it on a charger so it would be ready to go, I didn't think that was a good condition and went back to get another one, they replaced it no problem, dealer is only about 10 miles away so I wasn't upset about the ordeal.
