battery wont fit into bracket

[badsaint]

i have a 2009 spyder SE5. When i attempted to replace the battery, which I order specifically for 2009 spyder, it is a little too long and will not fit into the battery bracket. I measured the old battery and it is 8 inches long. The new battery mesures 8 1/8 inches in length. The extra 1/8 inch will not allow the battery to sit properly in the bracket and will not allow me to fasten the rubber strap to keep it in place. I looked on line at other batteries specific to the spyder, and the all measure over 8 inches in length. Has anyone else encountered this problem.
