Message Battery recommendations?!?

Specifically, for red track zed that sees high RPM abuse and heat.

So, my Red Top with a Nov 05 date has finally kicked it. Owes me nothing, as I have run it for damn near 20 years, winter, summer, track and autoX. A few years back, I replaced it with a new Nissan OEM battery that didn't last the racing season before bulging and losing charge. Managed to get the old Red Top back from the dead with deep cycle charging and put it back in. Well, now it is completely and royally done... the Noco Genius can't resurrect it.

New Optima group 35 batteries are fucking $ 600.00 up here in Canuckistan. Not happening.

Looked at Odyssey batteries, also in the $ 550.00 range. Can't get Braille up here, no distributors. Also $$$$.

Not demanding an AGM but they do hold up and not leak like conventional ones. It gets very hot under the hood after a session on track.

May look at hatch relocation as well.

Comments? Recommendations?
