Battery just died this weekend and its time to get a new one. Was thinking Optima and was wondering what type of batteries you guys are getting (Red top or Yellow top). I just use the car on weekends and mods are in my sig. I do have an aftermarket stereo and running a few extra gauges.

 

Unless you're cranking some serious accessory power, the Optima is overkill and overpriced but still a damn good battery.

My first choice would be Interstate followed by Diehard.

 

+1 on the overkill but its always better to have too much than not enough.

 

Size 40R Interstate Megatron

 

the yellow top is for if you have a really big load on it and might be draining it

the red top is for providing max starting power

 

Just got a diehard gold yesterday. Interstate shop was closed for the day and i didn't want to wait. Iv run diehards on other cars in the past and they have well exceeded their life expectancy.

 

i would go with an red or yelloow top im not sure which of those you should get but then i would get diehard. also the yellow top is on sale for 164 at 4wheel parts

which is better to get the red of the yellow top???

 

I just replaced mine. If the strap that secures it down doesn't fit, you can remove the two wedges in the bottom of the tray on the left and right side. It will make the new battery fit lower in the tray and the strap will then screw in again.

 

This or the diehard are going to be the best deal for the $$.

 

thanks guys. Heading over to the shop now then. Prob wont need the Optima at my current setup.
