You will not be able to easily find a battery with the same capacity as the OEM battery. You should call Roadside, they will bring a battery, replace it for free (you pay for the battery only), and reset all the electrical items that go limp when changing the battery. The price of the battery is not that much more than a lesser capacity aftermarket battery like DieHard, and a lot less than racing products like Optima.

Go to autozone or any other car store, ask if one of the assistants can help you with removal, take your old battery and have them minus the core charge for your old battery towards your new one, and you'll only end up paying like 40-50 bux.
