Optima battery 10 years old getting weak. Want to get one for under 200 dollars. I see someone said 27F was the original size that nobody carries. Any other suggestions? I use Everstart in my other cars so its not beneath me to get another walm*rt battery. Just trying to find one that fits.

I use an EverStart Maxx Battery, Group 65N 850 CCA.
I run an Interstate MT-36R. Posts are on the correct sides. Keep it on a Battery Tender. Been outstanding.
Thanks I think the measurements are 10 length, 7" wide and 8" height around there somewhat. why does everything have to be so difficult.
Least right now from the little I have done she starts right up and idles great. Long tank is not leaking as of now since I took it out banged all the rust out of it that I could and then sprayed it with FlexSeal. Temporary fix. I fixed the drain plug leak which was making me lose sleep. It was already single over I saw 1/2 on the plug. I ran another plug in the and fixed the threads pretty much so that the plug went all the way in and got it tight with a new crush washer. No other junk sealant or anything. Not a drop. Still need to replace harmonic balancer and the seal behind it. Weird seeing the car out in the driveway after so long.
Thanks for all the battery info.
