I stopped by a wally mart and did see the $39 group 41 battery today.  But
then I was attracted by the $39 100amp hour deep cycle battery
nearby.  That is appealing at that price.  But it is 2.25 inches taller
than the group 41.  Other dimensions will fit.  I believe it is a group
26.  I already have no metal cover to my battery box, but wonder if this
2.25 inches will make it tall enough to interfere with the seat?
