ALSO I LIVE IN NYC SO IF A PLACE NEAR QUEENS SELLS THEM, LET ME KNOW.

I have a Red-top Optima Battery and I love it. I also have strobes and neons and the battery works really well with them. I paid $125 for my battery over a year ago. It's pretty heavy too. I'm not sure where in NYC you can buy one (since I am not from that area). All I can tell you is that the battery is well worth the $$$.

OPTIMA BATTERIES SUCK...ALL I Hear is Complaints from everyone I've sold too. They said its a nice design, but it dies within a year. I checked their charging system and everything is good. I've been referred to "STINGER" batteries, they provide a better quality product and I see alot of the hardcore stereophiles using them instead of the OPtima battery...Look into it. Perhaps a GD if I am supplied with some info about the co.

And i park my car in this insane weather we've been having and battery holds up(-20 degree air temp to -60 with wind chill, i'm frozen but my battery holds up)

I wouldn't say that just any battery will do. .. I was talking to one of my relatives about my car, he is head of a service department for a Nissan Dealership, and he says he sees the cars in all the time because people didn't use a battery that will help the charging systems. . . If you don't use a good enough battery it will eventually kill components of the charging system and from what I hear it is a pretty common problem.

Red top is what i have, the battery does a much better job at starting the car at any given temperature than stock battery..The ONLY reason you would want a yellow top is if youre going to play your system with the engine off for extended periods of time, otherwise get a red top. I paid $99 for mine from a local dealer. Now my starter needs to be replaced.

i have the red top for over a year now. Still works like a charm. I have 2 big amps that draw some amount of power along with 85watt fogs, hyper bulbs everywhere and two 1 farad capasitors and i still have dimming in my lights. Im uprgrading to a yellow top and selling mine to my bro for $80. Yellow gives you a faster discharge than the RED thus, no more dimming. The YELLOW lasts only about 2 years or so VS. the RED wich should last atleast 3 years. RED is a starter battery and the YELLOW is for stereo applications, but can be used under the hood. I say go with the RED for just a replacement battery and YELLOW if you need that extra juice.
