Default Battery

IM plan on getting a systme sometime soon. I installed a ASP Underdrive Crank Pulley and have had some charnging issues at a stop light and plan on getting a new battery to see if it fixs the problem...eveyrone said the reason for the chargning problem was the battery was about gone. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good battery for me?

I's say go with an Optima yellow top and a higher output alternator.

Higher output alternator will negate the use of your underdrive alternator pulley. Go with a Red Top optima if your audio system is under 1000 watts.

The Optima batteries are a spiral technology I dont think they have gel in them. You can find them at Circuit City and other retailers.
