If I recall correctly, the usual battery series identifiers are either "24" or "27".  Any battery shop will know what you need.  FWIW:  I always purchase a reconditioned battery for ~$50.  Comes with a two year replacement warranty and lasts four or five years.

I'd upgrade to AGM's so you don't have to mess with the water level.  I used a pair of 12V Exide FP-AGM-24DP "dual purpose" batteries from Academy.

Thanks Volkemon for making my reply so easy.

Replacing our 12V lead acid batteries with 6V AGM batteries is still one of the best changes I made to our PC.

garyg, You and I have the exact same model and model year PC.  If changing to any type of sealed battery, I also recommend adding a battery splash shield. CLICK HERE (https://www.flickr.com/photos/37432012@N08/albums/72157622075091526) to see pictures of what Phoenix provided in 2007, and what I later did to protect the batteries.  I have to admit, checking fluid levels was easier without the splash shield because the cables were better dressed.  But if having sealed batteries, the shield is great.  Having 6V AGM batteries has been the greatest.
