Here it is:
Square Deal Battery Company
3512 N. FL Ave.
Tampa, FL 33603
813.223.3303

The guy I talk to most of the time is Mr McAllister. If they don't have it they
will find it. They have some weird batteries there Don't be suprised by the way
the place looks, they process a lot of old batteries and they also move a
lot of refurbs and it has been there for ever so, it looks it.
