I am about to upgrade from whatever battery is currently in my truck (some cheap-o crap no doubt) to something better.

So my question is:
What is everyone's battery preference?

I know Summit Racing is selling Optima Red Tops for about $86 right now on sale, and I saw that Wally World has Everstart marine batteries for around $50.

So post up!

PS: I know I posted this on AC too; please don't shoot me.

Optima red top - and $86 is a steal on those. They can mount in any position, never need maintenance, and don't get all that white nasty corrosion on them.

Red Top They usually run about $130 over here! $86 is awesome.

I wonder what our Governor uses.........

I'd be willing to bed she has a few of those red tops wired up in parallel....

I ordered up one of those red-tops, nice find .

Greg, you used "bed" instead of "bet" when mentioning our illustrious she-he governor. Is there something you feel you need to tell us?

... I was in Pep Boys and they have two sizes of red-tops one was like $109.99 and the other was like $119.99. It seems like one was a 75? size and the other was a 78?size...

Warranties were the same i.e. two year full and 84 months pro rated. I didn't see the CCA written on the sign... but I'll bet there is less CCA in the cheaper one...

Good luck and .. and … CUL.. Don S..

Thats a good price. What are the dimensions on the red-top?

Costco sells optima red tops for $99. I just saw them yesterday for that price.

Yeah I figured $99+ 8% tax at costco was decent, but $92 out the door...(at my door) was even better. Great deal really.

So 92.80 for an Optima is a smoking deal and apparently the best battery I can get a hold of (other than a yellow top).

Can't I be the Summit Racing expert? It's another good find!
