Car Batteries

hey guys,

I'm looking to buy a new battery. One with more power, better efficiency and is red/black, haha..

note that it'll be in the cold (-40C) and in the extreme heat (+40)
I have two amps running off of my battery now.. so... that comes into effect.

are lithium batteries good? which are the best?

i know otter has a group buy going on, but i believe i missed it!

If you don't want to take a chance on a mini-battery, you can't go wrong with an Optima Red Top. Prob one of the best batteries on the market. Not sure if any will fit in our trays though, you'd have to research that.

I know there's a Red Top that fits, I have one in my car. I don't remember the model # anymore, though.

It wasn't my group buy, it was Paradigm's, but it's over with regardless. You can still buy the tray/battery outside the group buy, though.
