Best Battery
What kind of battery are you guys having good luck with? I want something that's light and can be used in a daily driver. The car see's a decent amount of track time, but not a lot. Is the Optima Red Top (part number 144-SC34U) my best bet? Any batteries to avoid?
There doesn't seem to be much info on batteries here, any info would help. Thanks!

I did the Red Top myself, and it has been a great battery. I've had it drain 3 times on me (my mistake all 3 times) to the point where it wouldn't turn the car over, and it is still going strong.
One thing I have noticed is that now that I have a Battery tender, I find that it needs to be topped off about twice a week to make sure it has a full charge. The stock charging system in my car doesn't seem to charge it enough for the type of driving I do (daily commute of 20-30 minutes each way usually).
