XC 90 battery replacement

Hey guys,

I've got a six year old Volvo battery that needs to be replaced. I've stopped at the local places(Auto zone and O'reilly) and they don't stock any that fit. I've checked with the dealer and they are asking ~$200.00.

Any suggestions on a good replacement? I don't mind staying with the Volvo if the prices are comparable but most times they are not and I wanted to see what others have tried.

Thanks for the help!

I have gotten 3 different sizes of batteries that fit P2's in the trunk floor at Wal-Mart. Their batteries are made by Johnson Controls who make most private brand batteries sold in parts superstores and also are the biggest suppliers of OEM replacement batteries for import makes (shipping batteries from Europe isn't done too much any more).
I'm pretty sure the biggest battery that fits in the battery brackets for an XC90 is a group 49 which is also known as a DIN size H8.

I forgot about Wally world. I will give them a look this weekend.

Thanks for the tip.
