I get my batteries from Walmart. Biggest one that will fit in the hole.
$10 core credit for my cores upon purchase. Wally will install it. Good
warranty. If it craps out during warranty - just take it in for a swap.
Only had a single failure - ever - and swap was painless. Can't swear to
it, but I think these batteries are strictly USA made. Not Chinese made.

Good luck.

My local FLAPS has a replacement battery so I am going to remove it, take it for the core charge and install the new one.  The only other time I have done this was on my air-cooled pickup, and that was a while ago.
