Default battery

what type of batteries you guys using?

do you guys like the optima battery or do you use something different?

im just wondering, i think i might get they yellow top by Optima so it works with all my accessories and can handle the fan switch being on for a long time at the track.

Right now im using the stock one. When I need a new one, im going with the optima. Through some researches, the optima came up as being the best.

I just replaced mine with what was recommonend but wanted to get the Optima; but no-one here carries them for the mustang. The one parts store (advance auto who I will never shop at any more because of this happing many times) told me that they don't make one for the mustang, so I looked at the kid behind the counter and said well I guess that all the web-sites that carry them for the mustang are wrong then. Then he said AHHHH well we can not get one because we do not have a stock # for it. I just left shaking my head because the people that work there assume that if they don't have a part/stock # then no-one makes it for that car/truck. I really really hate stupid people.

Why would it have to be specifically for a Mustang? If it's the right size and amps, it doesn't matter. I have an Optima in mine.

^^^^ Yes I understand that but they do not, the reason I will not go back there. Also I am sure that they only stock them for all the ricers out there that like haveing 5000 watts of deafing power trying to vibrate that park bench wing off their car!!!
