Best Replacement Battery?
My original battery is on its last leg. I've used Die Hard batteries in the past, but am open to change.

Any suggestions on a powerful battery that will work well and perhaps support my stereo system for a while when the car isn't running?

I replaced mine with a Interstate. Optima's are confusing........red top, yellow top, blue top and the shops don't know which is best for our cars and they are just too pricey for me !
Can't go wrong with a Sears either !

I would go Die Hard. I always replace the dead OEM ones with those.
They have an 84-Month battery now that’s only like 75-bucks w/trade.

I've got a yellow top, but that's cause I like to get my shit bumpin. It's good for the system. It's like 135 shipped, but worth it.

Sounds a bit high.
There was a SEARS flyer in the newspaper yesterday and they had a 100-MONTH GOLD for 79.99

I waited one day too long.... went to start my car this morning and all I heard was clicking! Oooops.

Decided to go with an Interstate. Got one with 700 cca instead of the factory 550 so hopefully I can play the stereo a little longer when I want to.

Thanks for the input!

For those who got the Sears Diehard Gold, what is the battery number you have?

Mine is 33025. I didn't look at the stock battery, how large are these things supposed to be? Definitely looks like the spot will hold a larger battery.
