If you need a battery and have an Advance Auto nearby you can get an ETX20L battery from them for $69.99 using code TRT41.
It has 310CCA (stock is 270), 17.5 amp hours (I believe stock is 19 but I could be wrong) and 1 year warranty.
It is also made by East Penn.
I bought one last February and it has been fine. I'd buy one again when the time comes.
Here is the link to it

I don't know what HD dealers use for a battery tester, but I do know it ain't reliable. I took my one year old battery form my Ultra in to be tested. They gave me a real little print out that says "Bad Cell - Replace,Voltage 10.84, zero cca, amp hours 00.00". I bought a and installed a new battery. For fun, I stuck the old one on a tender for three days, and the battery is working just fine in my lawn tractor now.

A real tester will charge the battery full, then partially discharge it, and repeat several times. Batteries plus used to have computerized testers that you would leave the battery overnight and it would do exactly that, not sure if they still do.

A battery tester in the wrong hands is useless, and testing a partially charged battery will give the exact results they gave you.
