Question Optima Battery?

Hey guys, does anyone out there use an optima battery currently? I am in need of a new battery and i figured i would check out optimas as they are top of the line, but every site i've been on, including optima's, doesn't have a battery listed for a new edge. Am i looking for the wrong thing maybe? Any other brands you may recommend? Thanks for the tips guys.

Ours take a 58 group size--If optima doesn't make one I'm sure there's one close enough to fit. That being said, unless you have 600 hp and no alternator, or are running a trolling motor off it there is no need for it. Just get a duralast gold from autozone or something similar. My brother had one for 8 years in his truck before he had to replace it and never had a problem out of it.

thats really what i was hoping to hear. I didnt want to break the bank for a battery, but i was planning on adding some lighting and an after market bigazz stereo eventually.

i had a yellow top in a previous vehicle, that had a huge Kicker system and never had a problem with it. I had it for 3 years in florida without a problem until I totalled it. It was all good in the end because now i have the Stang
