So i need a new battery and i wanted to know which is better im goin with super start they have premium and extreme....i have alot of electronics like gauges,turbo timer,boost controller,etc no sound system though.

the premium:

720CCA/860CA

RESERVE MIN. = 100

DUAL TERMINAL
* Our best selling battery!
* 72 month warranty
* 2 year free replacement
* Meets or exceeds most OEM starting power requirements
* Computer controlled manufacturing ensures high performance and long life

EXTREME:

720CCA/860CA

RESERVE MIN. = 100

* 84 month warranty
* 3 year free replacement
* Maximum power with patented silver alloy to deliver long life
* Designed for severe weather conditions - hot or cold
 
The extreme has an extra year warranty and replacement over the premium. They both have 720CCA/860CA and RESERVE MIN. = 100. Im sure there must be a reason the premium is their best selling battery. Don't kno if thats due to a price differance. I would got with the extreme. Unless you need the dual terminal of the premium.
 
How much are they? If you got the money, go for an Optima battery :thumb:
 
Yeah unless you have a lot of electrical add ons in your car, go with the RED TOP optima battery they're more for people just concerned with performance
 
51 series honda battery FTW. They are slimmer and provide more CCA than the stocker. They help free up quite a bit of space if your running the stock battery with out relocate. I used this when fabbing up my IC piping it helps when cleaning up the bay as well. Smaller is better

I went with the Optima red top battery. Got it for $120 at Advance Auto here in New York. It comes with a 1yr warranty, works great with all electronics including my subs, all my gauges, or really anything else I want to put to it.
 
My 2 year old optima red top took a shit (after an alternator problem over charging) and I got it replaced a month ago at my local Auto Zone, no questions asked...brand new battery. You can't beat that!
 
If you have a Sams club in your area, look there. Optima batteries are around 140 for a red top at Sams
 
i have Optima battery i got triple gauge pod digital boost controller turbo timer safc and i never needed a jump, every morning i drive it to work, so far so good
 
autozone shows that i need a optima red 25? is that ok? will it fit?

It should fit, I run a 34/78 redtop even though Optima does not show it as a fit in my Eagle, but it fits perfectly and I've noticed a slight difference in my sound, especially with the sub.
