2G What battery should I buy?

[DsM KiD4]

Just like it says. Which battery are you guys using? any recommendations?

Red top optima here! I have used optima's for several years and have had no issues with them. I would recommend them.

I have a walmart battery that I spent 54 dollars on and has free replacement for a year.

I usually take it in at the 11.5 month mark and get a new one. Never had to replace a battery more than once. Usuaully because it is the OEM battery that came with whatever 10-15 year old car I just bought.

.....this thread is almost heading in the same direction as "what kind of oil should I use for both motor and/or tranny.." Mainly, just find the battery that works best for your usage - from DD to Drag/street racing ....

DieHard. Funny thing is that that was one of the first things it did under my ownership, die. Probably my fault, but the terminals look rough so I just use the 7-year-old AutoCraft borrowed from my brother's Laser.

I've used Duralast, Interstate, Optima, and a ton of other *almost* no-name batteries on other cars and none have ever let me down.

Deka ETX 20 Motorcycle battery.

Doesn't weigh much, and gets the job done, for $77 shipped on ebay. You've got to make/modify a tray, but it takes 20lbs off the nose of the car.

Does it not fit in the JMF mount?

but it takes 20lbs off the nose of the car.

..really... do 20lbs of weight reduction make that much of a difference?

Every little bit adds up. And also extra room is always a plus.

Im running an odyssey batterie for a year now with no problems, heres the link:

EXTREME PSI : Your #1 Source for In Stock Performance Parts - Odyssey Superlight Weight Battery: Metal Jacket 15.4 lbs (w/ terminal) *Overstock Sale*

And before that i was running a small honda battery about the same size as the odyssey. All the while running 2 amps and a sub! This batterie is tough and lightweight!

I personally rock the optima red top battery as well, but i have heard good things about odyssy batteries too and blue top optima batteries as well they are boat batteries, but have really good output

Currently using a yellow top Optima, battery works perfect for my needs.

Duralast 2 years STRONG!

I'm using a cheap kirkland signature battery which i bought with my car. It lasted for a long time but i sometime wonder if i should change it. I did go through 4 alternators in 1 year but I dont think it has to do with the battery..

 

[EvoRage]

I run a Miata battery from walmart, it was cheap, lightweight and works perfectly fine.

 

[joescool2008]

I use optima on my vehicles, has the extra juice for my stereos and winch on my truck and my brother had one for 8 years and drained it several times with underglow and his stereo going. They don't take long to charge but they do weigh an awful lot.

Sams club $70 energizer battery works great for me. If anything happens to it 2 years later sam's will still exchange it.

I have an optima red top. If you want more space they sell small battery kits
