I might need to buy one as soon as this afternoon.

Which one of those should I buy and will they fit well to the stock battery holder?
The first one that says Motomaster eliminator spiral grid battery gets great review but it's 36 lbs and quite expensive.
Down there there's a Motomaster eliminator battery that's about 90 bucks but gets bad reviews saying they just last 3 years. Is that the one you bought?

i bought the Motomaster Eliminator for around $100...it did not last the full 3 years...pay extra $10 and u get 9 year warranty, batteries always get weaker, so i don't mind a new battery at around 3 years...no hassle exchange!
interesting fact: the person at the exchange counter said that they have only seen about 3 extended warranties used...she said that people are just too cheap to pay the extra 10 bucks
tell them the battery is for your s2000 and they will give you the correct size...the battery is sealed too

After bunch of searches, it seems like it's hard to beat OEM choice, for it's rating and weight.
Warranty is 2 years complete warranty and another 3 years after that but with depreciation.
Don't really care if it dies 3 or some years later since I doubt I would even keep the car for that long.
