Try Batteries Plus on Wilmot and Speedway to get that kind
of battery.

If they don't have it pre wired with the connector, they
will use the old connector and properly spot weld nickel
tabs to the battery like the factory does.

If you don't weld tabs to the battery, it's easy to over
heat the battery and reduce its life or ruin it when
soldering to it.
