I second the Turbostart-Axion Maintenance free battery Doug.
Both of mine are going strong,with a few near me also who bought them too.
Make sure you get the more expensive,($229),SR59,(sealed),and not the less expensive,($150),wet electrolyte open R59 battery.
I think they still sell both today,or have a few of the wets left in stock anyway so stipulate that when ordering.

Any idea if these gel batteries are "lighter" than a conventional battery?

Rob, I think it is the opposite. I have not weighed them, but seem to be heavier. Grady

Rick shouldn't I use the R 89 sealed version on a 69 Hi Po Camaro
