I have been using Walmart's group 41 batteries for years and I'm really happy with them. They hold up well, last a long time - just be sure to keep them serviced. Like all wet plate batteries, eventually there is a water loss and distilled water must be added. Keep an eye on that and they will last a long time. That size does completely fill the battery box.
