Subject:      Replacement Battery and aux. battery

I need a new battery for my 85 westy. The current one doesn't hold a lot of charge and winter's approaching ...

Can anybody recommend a certain brand and source? I checked ntb.com, and they offer the DieHard WeatherHandler® North for $60, and the DieHard International for $100. The web site doesn't tell me what Amp Hours the units have which I am used to, only the Cold Cranking Amps, and they are 540 vs. 650.

I am thinking about installing an auxiliary battery at the same time. Should I use the identical type as the main battery, or something 'more affordable'?

Thanks! Joachim
