Default WalMart Battery is the same as Duralast (MFR is Johnson Controls), Price is about $35less.

Autozone kicked the price up to $89... from $69... Wal Mart has the exact battery for $54!

Default FWIW, the DL 48 was too small and I exchanged for the 94R DLG, which fits perfectly.

I am sure the DL 48 would work just as well but it would definitely need a different bracket.

Also, I did not need to re-activate the radio on my MY 2001 A4.

Default Weird, the 48 Group fits fine with my 2001...

IT's smaller, but a cheap $2 universal bracket bolted into the factory hole and holds just fine.
