As long as you get a battery with a good warranty, you should have no problems. Just make sure you get the equal or greater CCA (Cold Cranking Amp) rating.
Diehard International is good
Tozo got an energizer battery that came with free jump starting. Thats a nice feature.
Also, check audipages. There is a write up on how to change the battery using an exide battery. Exide is a good brand also.

Energizer 49-P remote vented from Murray's Discount Auto Store.
It was $ 89.99. It comes with 38 months free replacement, 84 months pro-rated, 36 months road service ( free jumpstart ) warranty.

Actually my battery is a Hawker Oddesy.. they make the batteries for Stinger.
Same battery but 1/2 the price. The only difference is that i have solid brass connectors instead of gold connectors.
