Default Battery

Had a brain cramp and drained the battery. Put a charge on it, just to have it tell me I have an open cell and need to replace it. Not starting now. Called Sears, no dice on a battery from them, no fitment apparently. Any suggestions where I can get a battery in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Bought my last one at NAPA. No one else had a group 48. Make sure there's a vent tube taped to the battery.

I just bought an interstate at Firestone (same price as the Interstate store) only to see it $25 cheaper at Sam's.

PepBoys sells the Bosch battery that is identical to the OEM battery in size, shape, amps etc. Around here it is about $120, much less than the OEM.
