The new DieHard Security battery is excellent but pricy at $170. A Diehard Gold North is about $80.
You can get a Sears Weather Handler for about $60.

The stock 5.0 CCA (Cold Cranking Amperage) is 540 but look for something over that - the higher the better. The Diehard Gold is 610 CCA. Not bad.

I now have an Optima 800 CCA gel battery and it's performed beautifully over the past three years.
Expensive at $140. but you get what you pay for.
