Default Deep Cycle Battery

Hey all,

Trust me I've done my search and either I do not know how to search well or the search is being annoying today.

I have a medium to large stereo in my car, and I do like to listen to my music when I have the car off, drying he car, at a BBQ, etc.

Simple Q: What deep cycle batteries out there last a while while being direct fit. I don't care on brand, and price matters. All I know is about yellow top optima's but I hear they only last a few years and there is no direct fit ones for our cars in that model.

This is also my DD and I drive it everyday if that matters. I'm in college and I'd like to get my money's worth

Thanks.

my 99 TA is my DD and I've got a red top optima under the hood, my buddy's got a yellow top under the hood of his 94 z28. I'm gonna be putting a yellow top that i've got in the garage under my hood soon, just cause I've got a "couple" of electronics that I'm running. the optima's are a little large, but well worth it if you've got an extra $150+ laying around. I feel ya about the money issue while going to college, I'm in the same boat.

Ok. So what model with side posts yellow top is the one the "fits" our F bodies, and is there any modding to make them fit?

i went with the 78 series they sell at sams and it fit, kind of a tight squeeze.
