I had my battery checked out at Autozone today because I've been having trouble starting the car in the morning. Well it checks out that my battery is going. I want to put in a good battery. I am running a decent sound system, high wattage bulbs everywhere and some accessories. I was thinking about either Optima Yellow or a DieHard. Any suggestions?

 

Optima are nice. Lighter too.

 

Costco sells Optima now for a pretty decent price... but the last time i was there i didn't see the yellow top, however, i did read a thread about how they sold it... for eighty-somethin $$.

 

for starts i think optima red top is what u need

 

Diehard Gold

 

Duracell double AA

 

 

Nah... if anything go for the 9v ones. They are square shaped so it wont roll around in the battery tray.

I have one... great battery. Not very light though (average weight). Just last weekend I played my stereo for over 2 hours with the car off and it started up instantly. Definitely a good battery for the money, and don't forget it has a 10 year warranty (3 year free replacement / 7 years pro-rated) and I believe the Sears Die Hard Gold only has a 5 (2 years free replacement / 3 years pro-rated).

optima red. i think there is a new design out also.

 

Optima Red Top is going to be my next battery.

 

Oh you want me to list all other reasons I bought it?
-Recharges faster than other batteries
-7x More vibration resistant than other batteries
-Non-spillable (corrosion-resistant)
-Can be mounted in any position (possibly handy if trunk-mounted)
-10-year warranty
-Longer battery life (more accessores run longer!)

-Cyrus

 

 

and it matches my engine bay

 

That's actually the main reason I bought it! But I thought that sounded too poor or a reason hehe.
