Best deal on battery?

Since the subject of batteries has come up, I am looking for the best deal on a battery for eXJunk. I tried the local NAPA, where I can usually get a pretty good deal on batteries, but their best price was $65 for the economy model. Haven't really had the chance to do any shopping yet (and like most men, I hate shopping). Where do you guys go for a good deal on a battery?

Battery Warehouse. They are a franchise, and I've seen them all over. They are the same price as Wally-World, but I already give them enough bussiness.

I use a sealed (AGM) battery from Westco battery. (Model 12V22) Cost was $74.95 including shipping. No sensor for the XJ, but there is s tech note about bypassing the sensor in the Battery and Electical Maintenance section of the Forum.

This was the least expensive sealed battery I could find. have 2 seasons on it now, still going like brand-new.
