Best Battery?

Maybe the best answer is just to pick up an duralast from autozone but i wanted to know what you guys thought. Ive heard good things about the optima yellow top but have heard its really for guys drawing alot of power (like for a sounds system and such) Is this battery really worth the extra 50 bucks for someone who doesnt have a sound system or anything like that?
thanks guys

I got a duralast from autozone for $70 with the exchange. It has 800 cold cranking power and 1000 normal cranking power. It's doing fine but my starter isn't doing so great.

i had the best luck with the diehard weatherhandlers from sears, this is a good battery for people who are not running powerful sound systems, good all-arounder battery

I would go with an Interstate battery over any Autozone or Kragen house-brand battery.

Costco has good batteries, Interstate makes great batteries, alot of batteries are pretty much the same as other brands.

I have a DieHard Rangehandler in my car. It's up there with the CCA's, can't quite remember the exact #'s. It is the one above the Gold that is used for the SUV's. I think it has an 8 year warranty with a 3 year free replacement warranty.

awesome!
can you find the misspelled word for me? I think your confused with a run-on sentence

Oh and the abbreviation for year old is y.o. and
its "because" not "cause" as in "A basis for an action or response; a reason" The doctor's report gave no cause for alarm.


Awesome I just paid 80 dollars for a autozone battery that cost less than 25 to make! (but its guaranteed!)
