Advance Auto *does* carry a battery for the Contour. It's an Autocraft #47-1. Excellent battery line - see few of them come back defective. Price is $59.99 - warranty is 72 months, first 2 years free replacement. The # was accicentally deleted from the database listing for the Contour for some reason - maybe happened when we changed systems - it was there a few months ago - anyway the store computer won't show it - I'm trying to get them to correct it.

I have had one in my 'tour for a few months now - no problems.

The Optima ($129 gel batt - no acid) that we sell is a one size fits all deal. I don't know if it will physically fit in the 'tour. I can measure it today at work if you need the info. Have had good feedback on it - customers who have bought one love it.
