The "Auto Zone Cheapie" has the terminals in the right place.

Deka makes a complete line of Gell and Glass Mat batteries as an alternative to Optima.

Chris K., good call on the Diehard.
After WAYYYYYY too much time spent on getting a battery, I was all set to get the Deka glass mat battery (similar to Optima gel) except they have the same issue as the Optima - no easy, simple way to secure it to the car. I even was going to get the regular Deka, but the mfg. sent the wrong batteries to the store.
So, I went with the Diehard International (48 series). It mounts right onto the existing battery tray (one spot in from the OEM) and comes with a vent attachment. The installation took very little time, no additional expense to install the battery and no fabrication. I would have done this weeks ago, but I figured why bother - the weather sucked and I couldn't drive the car anyway.
Now, let's hope for decent weather this weekend so I can finally drive my car.

Just kidding. Glad you can drive the PCar again.

I agree, there are some that I've heard say that he shouldn't be allowed to drive his car.
