I think group 41 is stock.  It is tight, but fits.  I got one several
years ago for my house battery with the intention of swapping it at
the 2 year mark when it is 100% replacement value.  It was still fine
then, so I left it.  Now it is pretty useless at 3.7 years old.  I
was checking around at the flaps, and they said they had a group 58
that would fit and was more CCA like the post below says.  Will a
group 58 really fit?
