Battery price?!

Battery price?!
So I recently had to replace the battery in my wife's Ford Escape, and, out of curiosity, I looked up the battery for my X-Type for a price comparison. I got quite a shock—instead of the $70-$90 that a typical automotive battery lists for at an auto parts store, the battery for the X-Type lists at $145! What in the world makes this battery so expensive? Is there a less expensive battery that will fit (and work well) in these cars? Since I know I'm going to have to replace the battery eventually, it would be nice to know in advance how much it's going to cost…
