'91 245 AW70 DOA Battery (in storage on trickle charger) Need new replacement 200

Hi all:

Like many on the BB, I have multiple Bricks and have been storing one for a while. I used a trickle charger to keep the desired Volvo brand battery charged. To my shock when I went to start it this weekend I only got a click and after the basic checks, I jumped it with another running 244 and it started right up. The central locks worked whiched led me to believe that the trickle charger was working properly.

What I need from you is the model number of the largest Costco battery with the highest CCA rating with the terminals in the correct orientation. Volvo no longer sells new ones. I do not care about the hold down base or if if will fit in the stock OEM pan (I can modify the base and add a hold downI. I just need the terminals oriented correctly. All the Costco locations here do not have the batteries for direct replacement so I might as well go for the highest CCA level that will fit (make it fit).

Any help here for those of you who have done this will help and be appreciated.


I would also suggest that all out there in (4) season climates get to check the status of your battery as the comming first cold weather may do it in.

Thanks

Al
