Hello there. Looking for battery?? I used to work at the automotive
department at Sam's Club in Michigan and we switched from Champion to
Delco 2 years ago. They still have a similar model that is called the
70DT-830. It will fit in your size 26 slot and has both side and top
terminals (hence the dual terminal name-DT) When i left there to goto
away to school this summer they were selling at $39.99 and a 2 year full
warranty with an additonal 4 year prorated warranty after that. That will
give you all of the cranking power that you will ever need to! Good luck
in finding them though because they can only be purchased through Sam's
Clubs.
