Yep, I agree with Keith. At least in the Upper Midwest, Walmart stocks group 27 "Ever Start" batteries with a black case. They are both inexpensive and seem to be good quality with a long warranty. The one I traded in was 10 years old and still functioning. Use of a battery tender at least once a month for 24 hrs or so also really lengthens battery life.

I like the solution in my car. Some member (sorry I forgot just who) sells Mopar battery stickers, so I just bought a current $100 battery, peeled off all the original stickers, and put the Mopar ones on. Looks great. You just don't end up with the fill caps on top for a "correct" look. (And apparently they don't make those fake filler cap tops for the group 27 battery).
