First link is for the Group 31M, which is the one I'm leaning towards buying, but they're all on sale. You have to sign up for the "Shop Your Way Rewards" Sears program to get the 10% off, plus it looks like the battery is $10 off currently anyway.
I've been watching for a sale on these batteries for awhile now, and this is the first to come along in ~6 months.

All Diehard Platinum batteries:

Off to Sears...$263.04 total...now I have to find a junk battery to turn in for a core charge. As it turns out I have some C'man tools that need replacing too.

Thanks!

I have purchased two of those batteries with with no core charge. I told them very nicely that it would be for a dual battery setup and I didn't have a core to turn in. Both times they let me slide.

Just got back from Sears; sold out, but I "reserve" bought one -- should be in around Friday.

Clerk seemed skeptical that it would fit in my 4Runner, but according to this, it should:

I measured the stock battery (12"L X 6.75"W X 7.5"H), and the PM-1 group 31 is about the same size, just taller: 13"L X 6.8"W X 9.5"H.

That's a good price. I did a little better @ $153.99 for a group 65 a few months ago. A friend bought my old ones and had some jumnkers on hand,so I got my core refunded.

The only hassle was the incompetent Sears near me. I don't even want to go into what it took to get these batteries. I used to work for Sears. Customer service was job 1. Place sucks now.
