I know for a fact that Sears has the wrong battery listed in their computer.
I have had a WalMart "EverStart" battery for about 2.5 years, and it has
fit and worked just fine. And it was only $39.95!
I got it based on a recommendation form Consumer Reports.
It is about 7"x7"x9" in size, and it has top terminals and size terminals
(which are out of sight facing rearward when installed in the Spit).
I do not see any size code on it, but it has a part number: DT-3.
Given that a Spit has a small engine, and you are unlikely to want to
start it in sub-zero temperatures, I see no reason
to spend lots of money for a super-premium battery.
