Where Can i get A group 42 Battery for a 1973 Beetle?

I think one is pretty much the same as another. Years ago some mechanic told me that there are just a few battery manufacturers in the US, and they put different names on identical batteries.

(notice that a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle has been chosen) You wanna get onelike the one in the illustration, with the white terminal protector.That way, if some really heavy person sits on your back seat directlyabove the battery then the springs in the bottom of the seat won't comeinto contact with the terminal and cause a spark to ignite the seat'shorsehair stuffing.

O'Reilly prices in their current ad (4 pages) are $70 to $85.

Same deal at Pep Boys. Their batteries start at $70 + $12 core charge. The more CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) the better, though I don't know if you get a choice with the group 42.
