Your choices are going to be limited by the size of the battery, the R65 uses a not so common size battery.

If I'm not mistaken, an 18 AH battery is the largest that will fit, without altering the battery box.

These two sealed batteries fit. My Westco worked well for 4 plus years. The second option is a lot cheaper and basically the same as the 20AH Westco. Fits and works as well according to several second hand reports. Will be my next battery.
