A few days ago, I wandered into Batteries Plus. Noticed Lithium batteries similar in size to my original, and boasting the same 270 CCA. Now that I have my new sled in hand [i.e. in garage] I'm going to pull the battery and take some measurements. While the 1/3 scale battery from WPS sort of worked, some of the time, I'm thinking full CCA and maybe 3-4 lbs is still significantly better than the 16 lb lead acid battery. Price was roughly $130.

If you just want to replace existing battery in an Axys RMK, you have to make sure of dimensions and post orientation, the correct WPS battery is 330 CCA if I recall correctly, got it off ebay for a little over $150, had spacer blocks that snapped into the bottom to make it sit right in the factory holder.

Perfect timing - I have the dimensions of my orig and started looking for one this morning - but didn't find yet. Any chance you have the battery model # or PN ? TIA !
