if you have the time to do alittle more research you should lookinto a thinner lightweight battery with a mounting tray for it .. sorta like this

if a small battery like that could run the alarm for a week without dying, I might consider it.

direct replacement does not equal size that fits in vortech battery tray.

We are currently on our 3rd hour of the battery replacement, and have resorted to modifying the battery tray to take out an angled corner that prohibits the fit of the 6 3/4" wide battery (stock is maybe 6.5" tops. that little bit is causing the most grief right now.
