I'm embarrased to say that I re-installed the battery (that I previously thought was too tall) and it fits fine. I had it on the bench the day before for a pre-install maintenance charge and something stuck to the bottom. When I installed it in the car it sat too high so the hold-down bracket wouldn't fit. The battery looks different than the other Interstate battery in this thread (shown above). If you look carefully on the top you can see that it's distributed by Costco. This battery doesn't have a built in handle like the white battery. Makes installation and removal a knuckle-buster. I understand that Interstate is a marketer, not a manufacturer. Johnson Controls is one of their main suppliers, but it apperas there are others. Looks like these Interstate batteries are from two different manufacturers.
