Everstart.. Best damn battery I have ever had.. Has completely 100% been drained as in won't even try trning over probably 4 times... when you go months not starting a car it happens.. can leave the lights on for 3 hors still starts up etc etc.. Love it.

also, at my local autozone.. when a battery goes out of experition, ie sits on the shelf past the date they can sell, they have to discard them... Which then allows then to sell as a used battery.. ie brand new red top for 40$.

Go with the 78-7yr. Its awesome. If I remember, its like 800 CCA@0*F...and 960 CA@32*F.
No reason to get a stock power replacement. You'll be set for when you get a stereo system put in. I have a 1,000watt amp........when its cranking hard with my 12" woofer the load meter doesn't even move. Head Lights on and A/C on.
The warranty is just too amazing to pass up and they are available on every street corner for replacement if you have an issue.

50 month FREE replacement....84 month pro-rated.
