Went to Autozone and bought the Duralast Gold/Battery Part Number: 95R-DLG today and had them test it before i bought it. Had a 89% charge still. Replaced the battery using this video
except I didn't cover up the positive wires. It took me about 15 mins to do the whole job.. Had a quick battery discharge error when I turned it on so I turned it off then restarted it and the error went away. So far so good. Took the original battery back to Autonzone to get my core charge back of $12. I had the battery since November 2006. I had them test it and it still had a 76% charge. Battery was still good, but I really didn't care to keep the battery still.

Battery Cost $161 + tax
Labor Cost $0

Wife not worrying about her battery: PRICELESS

Hopefully, you DIDN'T stick that cardboard in yours! OMG, in this guys video, which was informative, he really should have taken the exact physical size battery and avoided that cardrboard...
