Owner reviews for battery

my only option for a "proper" battery was a red top at $150.00. The next best thing was a group 47 Energizer, 590 CCA, 3 year full replacement, 7 year warranty from Sams Club for $65.00. I just dropped a load on the clutch and I don't plan on keeping the car for more than another 3 years. I only use synthetic oil so it cranks easier in the winter anyway. SO I got the energizer.

Mine fit like a glove - no mods - no custom bracket - OEM battery cover fits perfectly.

When I worked at AutoZone we carried the OEM Bosch battery, and it was about the price of the Duralast Gold.

I'm running a Deka ETX 14 and us a battery tender jr. works great

If you want a great battery get an optima, other than that it's pretty much all the same to me.

Ive had my red top for 5 years no problems...

I've been using a blue optima for about 6 years now and still going strong... Yes yes I know its for marine applications

I have the model 35 and the stock cover does fit over it: As far as long term, I haven't been super impressed... I've had my redtop die a few times over the last few years, not even from extended use... however it did get rid of issues I had with my lights dimming from the sub and if I decide to drive upside down it supposedly can handle that

So ever since I put subwoofers in my car they seem to be killing my batteries. My original battery lasted about 2 years (car was barely used for these 2 years), battery after that lasted a year (replaced last summer), and now it seems as if my current battery is going. I wanted to grab food before going to work yesterday so I got some food at Mcdonalds and sat in my car for 20-30 mins eating and listening to music. I went to fill my car up with gas after work (gas station not even a mile away) and the car barely started, normally it turns over very quickly, you could tell the car was REALLY struggling due to battery (everything dimmed as well). This was at night so my headlights were on while I was filling up. At the beginning of summer I went to a drive-in and was able to watch an entire movie without my battery dying. The battery is a Duracell with 725 CCA and 890 CA @ 32F

Yellow tops are great, but since they switched the Redtop to the new design, it's a joke.
