what battery ya'll using? thinking i might put a new battery in my car and was wondering what u guys think i should go with? i was considering an optima but didn't know if it was worth the price of admission or not. btw, i don't have any stereo equipment other than stock.
I have a Braille 21lb lightweight battery which is the heaviest one they make but its still anywhere from 10-25 pounds lighter than most conventional sized batteries I also have a 12" subwoofer I say go lightweight.

well i'm not home right now but my dad has been starting it up every once in awhile and he said its starting to get a little slow so i figured i might as well put a new one in, don't want to risk it thats all, plus its getting brand new everything else soon so i think its a good time to put a new one in. whats the difference between a rew top and yellow top?
My battery was fried and I couldnt locate an Optima in time so I went with an Autozone Duralast battery, the one with the red top. After I took the stickers off it doesn't look too bad, I've been using it for about 3 years now and it's never let me down.
Next battery will be an Optima yellow top.

optima seems to be hit or miss. I have had a red top for a year and a half and it has performed flawlessly, even with my car sitting at least 6 days a week every week.
