Gotta Buy A Battery!

Hey guys my old battery went to crap and need to buy a new one. Can someone recommend a good battery for me? I will be powering an amplifier with speakers along with an LCD monitor and computer in the trunk. I looked into the he Optima Red/Yellow Top batteries and they seemed to be pretty good. What do you guys think? If I do get the optima should I go with the Red or Yellow top?

Thanks!

-Matt

I just spent another $20 and got the Die Hard Gold battery since my previous one (silver) was under warranty. I would've gone with the Optima, but I've read some negative things on the battery.

the optima's will do pretty good for you. the only thing you really need to consider when choosing between the 2 is how much time you spend with your stero and computer on while the car is off.

If its not much, then stick with the red top.

if its a good bit, look into the yellow tops
