It has been 10 year since I replaced my TR6 battery, last weekend it died so off to the auto parts store I go.  My dead battery a group 24 diehard from Sears had the terminals almost in the dead center of the battery.  All of the group 24 replacements I found have the terminals so close to the front that it looks like a missed placed jumper cable would short against the battery tie down if you where not extra careful with the placement.  Next I brought my plastic battery box and the battery tie down into the store.  A group 65 battery was the next closest fit, but it was causing the plastic box to bulge, and probably crack over time.

Maybe I am making too much of the closeness of the battery terminals to the battery tie down?

I would be interested if anyone else has run into this.
