sears diehard.

AAA came out and tested. 5 1/2 year old Interstate MT-46 no longer holds a charge overnight. First time ever AAA did not have the appropriate battery in stock much less on the truck. Did get their equivalent price.
Found lots of possible 24 sized, as well as others that fit in the space, have the right orientation of terminals etc.
Nothing has the little lip on the lower body to fit the stock hold down- not even the local Interstate dealers.
O'Reilly matched the Walmart online price for a 24F with 700 CCA and a three year full replacement - $85, and they are just down the street while Walmart is one county south.
Thanks for the input!

If your first battery lasted five years, I would get another one of those.

Check with a Volvo dealer. Seriously - no joke. I just bought a Volvo battery for my V70 and it was 50 cents more than the Advance Auto battery. The original battery lasted 10+ years and I finally killed it by leaving my lights on too many times. I figured I'd stick with whatever worked well for so many years.

I don't know what fits in 140's but late model 240's take a group 47.

I use group 48 or the same size H6. Walmart has the highly rated Maxx series that are available everywhere.

Measure your battery box and see what fits, I prescribe to the more lead the better the battery so size does matter.

I think a 24F is the standard size, but pretty much anything will fit in there.
You may have to shim the sides if you are using a smaller sized battery.
For some reason I'm thinking 500 CCA off the top of my head.
