Battery Group/Size

Does anyone happen to know what Battery Group/Size is in my 97 5.4 4X4?
I am shopping for an Optima Yellow Top, and have several options.

I found a sweet deal on Optima's here:

Have any of you seen comparable deals elsewhere?

Thanks for your input!

Keep in mind that the yellow tops are deep cycle batteries, not necessarily the design best suited for standard daily driving/starting purposes. Costco has the red tops because they are better suited (and priced) for most normal starting applications. The yellow tops are more for long battery drains such as winches, heavy accessory use (big stereos), hydraulics, etc. Oh heck... just go overkill and get the yellow top!!! .... but I guess you already figured that, huh?
