Battery recomendations

My stock delco battery finnaly went up today. I'm looking for opinions and reccomendations for a replacement battery. I kinda dont want an Optima becasue of the terminals on top. Let me know what everyone thinks.

I kind of like having the extra set of termianls on top . It makes it easy to jump folks off and you can cap them off so they dont get in the way . Also if something goes wrong with it in 3 years you can take in the auto store and swap it out for a brand new one .

i made a thread about the same thing a few weeks ago....do a search. after like 3 pages of replies the general consensus was an optima red top. however, i was able to use a battery recharger to recharge my stocker and its running great and holding charge. so looks like i wont be buying a new one anytime soon!

My redtop came with one of those covers, but I don't use it. I like the top posts for if I ever need to get jumped/jump someone, they make it tons easier. I still use the sideposts, which it also has BTW.

I'm going Yellow top. The side posts will handle the stock electrical harness, and then I'll use the top posts for my amp, fuel pump, and maybe nitrous wiring.
