I get my batteries from the auto wrecker. Way cheap, and around here they even come with a warranty!

Just about any 12V battery that fits. Height is important so the posts don't make contact with the hood. They're sized by "group size" which you should find printed somewhere on your old battery.

Like I have said before.
There are a really great group of people on this website, who are very helpful.

 Errr... Don't use a motorbike battery or a 12v camera battery, they will fry when you engage the starter
