My 8 year old walmart group 48 battery is finally dying. Seems that size is being phased out and I can't find them anywhere.

The H6, which is suppose to replace it, is too tall.

Am I stuck using only a Group 41?

I'm using a T5 from WallyMart.

Not as long as others (but plenty of crank) so a block of wood (or a copy of Bulfinch's Mythology) should be placed alongside.

The Bulfinch's is nice as you will always have something to read while waiting for help to arrive.

40R T6 is a perfect fit. I picked up the Duracell from Sam's recently. 800 CA and 650 CCA. 3-year free replacement warranty. When I got it, I thought the regular price was really good @ $90 for a battery with CCA that high. They just happen to be on sale right now for $20 off making the cost only $70.
