    I bought an Everstart Max (size 51R) for my '06 from Walmart in September for about $150.  It comes with a 3 year warrenty. Their batteries get good reviews by Consumers Magazine.  I've used the Everstart on several cars now.

    Also, 51 and 51R are not the same - the terminals are reversed between them.  Putting the wrong one in could cause damage to electronics.
