Dave,
 
ebay has the Odysey battery for about $66 delivered ($52.99+$13 S&H).
 
Search for "PC-680" 
 
I believe all PC-680's are the same although they advertise them for Harleys, BMWs, and other vehicles.

Perfect, Thanks Tommy.  I just found my next (and probably all subsequent) battery.

Dave, from the web site:
Superior cranking and fast charge capability=20
The 5 second cranking power of ODYSSEY=AE batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as - 40=B0C. Also, with simple constant voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of a fast charge.
