Well how timely was your post. I have been recently researching a replacement myself. The following is what and I have found in my area.
The size group is 48, I am sure some others will fit.

DIE HARD INTERNATIONAL (not a movie)
Found at sears.com in 3 different ratings, none at the local store.
$12.99 install fee. These look similar to our batteries, even has the square red cover for the positive terminal.
600 CCA $125
700 CCA $134
800 CCA $139

INTERSTATE MTP-91 85 month rating.
700 CCA

Firestone starts at $130 and you can find a $20 coupon on
www.firestonecompleteautocare.com which expires on 2/28.
$15 install fee.

Midas price is $133 with no install fee.


OPTIMA 34R
Advanced Auto Parts did not have the 34R but had other "red tops" there.
Price was $165 or a "yellow top" for $214, no install fee.

My rough measurements with a tape were 11x7 and 7.5 inches high.
Stay below these measurements and the battery will fit.
May need some spacers for the hold-down if you do too short.
Remember you want the positive terminal at the top/right corner. commonly known as "reversed" terminals.
