I have a small stereo system in the car. I didn't really want to spend the money on the Optima. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Fred

 

might as well get the optima.. its worth the coin.

 

Another vote for Optima... If you don't want to shell out for the Yellow Top, get the Red Top... I saw one at Pep Boys for ~$100. I think you're going to spend $60~$70 for a battery, so why not grab the Optima.. IMHO..

 

I vote for a dry cell Exide or an Optima. I've not had any problems w/ either battery. Currently, the Exide is in my Maxima and the Red Top is sitting in my garage. I'm unsure which is more expensive though.

 

Optima. Thats another vote. Im gonna be getting a complete system in my truck with everything down to the teeth worked on, so Im going with a yellow top.

 

hows about a smaller battery? like half the size of the ones wqe have now? loose like 15 lbs or something???

LOL!!!

 

I'm running Yellow Top right now, which is smaller (in dimension) than stock bettery (don't know about eight tho... it was heasvy as ****! )

I heard those Dynabatt's are expensive though...

 

Sounds like your don't have "mad bumps" in your ride. Tally up another for the Optima Red Top. They are an awesome battery! Go yellow if you plan on upgrading your sound system in the future.

 

I have a couple of amps in my car currently with no plans to go any bigger. I have a 200.4 Rockford Fosgate Punch and a 160.2 Rockford Fosgate Punch. If I am only talking abou saving $30. I would just get the Optima. I just thought maybe someone knew of a less expensive battery with a great reputation.
