I wouldn't know that because I haven't been foolish enough to buy a battery 
from either of those establishments since Sears was stupid enough to break 
their contract with Interstate Batteries. Call 1-800-crank-it and talk to 
Interstate; they still know what battery will fit a Spridget (or at least 
they did a couple years ago when I got mine. I believe the recommended is 
the MT22F. Make sure you leave clearance between the battery and the 
firewall so you don't get the lovely little holes through the firewall... I 
tend to slip a 1/2" thinck piece of wood behind the battery for clearance.
