recent under-seat battery experience?

[Henry A Harper III]

Haudi,

What's the latest good place to get a suitable externally vented group 41 
battery for type 44? The Kmart "Penske" which has been sitting comfortably 
under my back seat for three years is now flat and not taking a charge from the 
good alternator (0.15V between battery +ive and jumpstart post with engine 
running, 13.65 vs 13.8). Walmart, Fred Meyer, the Kmart I visited last night 
around 10pm were all out of stock or not carrying. Might try a different Kmart, 
then will have to go FLAPS. Brands to avoid?

TIA,
Henry Harper
