I have a new battery tray. It measures approx. 9 1/2" x 7 1/4".
The class of battery I found is 42, but it seems too long. I also see a 24 series.
What size battery do I need and please suggest a brand. Thanks mucho?

I use a 24 as it's the same one in my daily, but we can go as small as a Miata battery with no problem.

As far as off the shelf brand, Walmart gold top. Made by Johnson Controls which is the top battery maker in the US. Plus it's much cheaper than parts stores these days.

Others will recommend a more specialized battery if it fits your budget, or just read one of the other threads.
