Aw shoot, its your basic side-terminal 10" battery. Mine doesn't have the Group number on it, but this battery is so common that Joe's Garage down the street has it!

Re: Sears Diehard (Monkeywrench)
Does Sears still sell the Security battery if so they are great no-one can steal your car( unless they tow it or bring thier own battery ). Don't worry about the size as long as it fits in the compartment

I just put in a Diehard Gold 75, #22833075. 720 CCA and 900 RA. It works great and fits perfectly. Good battery with a great warranty. Sears does not sell the security batteries anymore because of too many problems.

I used the Security battery for a year and had good luck with it, but they were all recalled earlier this year - the electronics inside were faulty. They were replaced with Diehard Gold series (non-security) and a cash refund. Good idea while it lasted...

I got mine at Pep Boys for $118. I just like the fact that it is a dry cell. No battery acid right behind my behind :yesnod: It is a great battery. My stereo is connected to the fuse box on the BATT terminal and can be turned on without the key. I left the radio on for a week with the volume very low (couldn't hear it) and my car started right up. Lots of reserve in this battery.
