I've been using a Miata replacement battery from Westco for a few years
in my 67.5 Datsun Roadster.. Last time I bought one it was about $65,
including shipping, rather than the $110+ that Mazda gets.
The battery is quite light and small and I can carry it around in one
hand over the top of it. It is a gelled electrolyte battery and can be
mounted in any orientation, even upside down. There is a nipple on it
for a vent hose if it is mounted in an enclosed location.
