I don't think the 49-DL exists anymore. I remember looking for one but couldn't find one anywhere, so I ended up going with the 94R-DLG. I've had zero problems with it. It has more CCA than my factory battery. Replacing my 10-year old factory battery also helped solve my speaker pop issue.
It is on the pricey side though, I think I paid $165?
From the research I've done, the 49-DL battery was an H8, and has been superseded by the H8-DLG. It has 50 more CCA and the same CA according to Autozones website.
I remember some people saying the 49-DL was shorter than the stock battery and needed to be braced in a bit for proper fitment, but I never had that issue. The H8-DLG has the exact same dimensions as the 49-DL so I think this is what I'll go with. The other batteries being recommended on Autzones website were $200, this one is $155.
The other batteries don't have the same CCA as the H8-DLG either, and I live in a cold climate so I will definitely need the help.

Every aftermarket auto-store brand battery I've had lasted less than 3 years. I will probably stick to OE batteries going forward.
I've had my car since 2010 and I'm replacing my battery for the third time. lol
