Battery OPTIMA or Bosch

I just pick one up from the junk yard for $15 and they offer a 30 day warranty. You can find a nice optima used for around $60-$80 in this area

i've got the yellow top, installed from the previous owner. it doesn't fit my battery cover too well, but boy does the yellowtop have plenty of CCAs, my start is much stronger than my friend's .:R32 (battery from dealer).

Just get a good battery from a known "brand" manufacturer (Bosch, etc) - they will last much longer than a supercheapie

I just have a red top Optima in there. It is the only batteries I'll buy after the one in my truck went through so much hell and survived many years of abuse.

I got a Bosch Battery from Pep Boys. It was 90 bucks but it has a KILLER warranty. I forget exactly but it has road side assistance. 3 year free replacement and like 7 year total I think. Fit PERFECTLY. It looked exactly like the old stock battery other than the acid level thingy.

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 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

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

I had the yellow top in my 97 and It was nothing but problems, I know that doesnt help you answer your questions... Just saying
