Sealed Battery?

So I have taken my old battery to 4 different places.

Interstate, O'Reilly, NAPA, and :ohmy: Walmart.

All of whom have presented me with a sealed battery about 1/2 inch wider than mine.

Can you not get a sealed battery to fit the stock battery box?

Batteries Plus? Perhaps its time to upgrade to a gel. They are usually half the size and carry quite a punch from what I have read here. Its one of my next upgrades.

+1 on the gel. Got one in my 700 and love it.

Check these guys out.
