Battery OPTIMA or Duralast

always a safe bet to get a good optima battery, i drained my cheapo oem battery several times before i became fed up with it. optima has help up great

I've owned a red top for the last two years which I know is not very long but haven't had any problems either.

I have had an optima for my Jeep Wrangler for close to 3 years. Never any problems. I have left the lights on a few times too draining the battery... never any problems after recharging either... not sure why everybody hates them.

I have an optima Yellow top in my GLI. Everything went in easy... very awesome battery i must say. I have a large sound system with a cap and this battery has never failed me.

AutoZone. their Duralast Batteries have worked so well out here in CO.. i have abused them and used them and they still run strong... My buddy drove 10 miles on just the battery when the serp belt broke on his 2.0 and the battery made it, no problem...

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

Autozone Duralast gold, I think it was a 75 or 78 series, your cables should be just long enough to reach. I got a good deal on mine, and didn't have any trouble with cable length.

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

They are not worth the money, I work at a local auto parts store and have Two Red Top Batteries sitting on my battery pallet waiting to be shipping out and recycled. If that Red top wasn't made in Colorado, it's junk.

they used to be good but over the last 5 years or so they have dropped in quality. I have purchased 3 red tops and 4 yellow tops for customers and each one failed prematurely.
