Default Good 24 Volt battery

I am in need to replace my 24 volt Concorde RG24-16 battery that came in my RV-7A. I tried to get a 24 volt Odyssey battery but can locate a 24 volt one and my locale dealer can not find one either. I need to stay with the current weight and size of the Concorde, so I can not go with a smaller size one. Any one have any ideas. I am trying to find a better/cheaper one since the Concorde is around $500.

I have a couple of NAPA batteries in series in my -6. Could you series a couple of Odyssey PC680's? I would think they would be close in size and weight to the Concorde...

That would be my game plan too. There are a lot of good batteries (Brands) out there to consider using.
