Scott, I ended up buying an Optima red top when NAPA had that killer Super Bowl sale in 2014. When I was shopping for a battery I went up to the battery place up on Empire. They have one similar to Optima in design but a bit less expensive and they swear by them. Can't remember the brand but they'll know. I was a little skeptical about Optima with what I've read here, but from what the NAPA guys told me, they have their issues sorted out. I'll tell you how I like mine after my engine start, which by the way was thinking of inviting you to...
I’m listening.

Get a Deka ETX30L. Plenty of power and should fit in your battery case. Looks like the terminals should bolt up perfectly. And made in America too!

Don't confuse a battery mat (that a battery sits on) with and AGM (absorbed glass mat) battery. Two very different things. Yours is a traditional flooded battery. Not that there is anything wrong with that!
