or red top is just fine?

or any kind of battery is the same? right now there is no blue light on my battery and somehow when i roll up my windows, they are slower than usual

my mods are only
hyper voltage stabilizer + grounding kits
pioneer head unit and S&S package
hid
rrm cai

 

Just buy a cheap die hard or something. All a battery needs to do is start your car, after that everything draws from your alternator. Optimas are for people who tend to run electronics with their car shut off.

 

thats why my battery's screwed
when i had my screen, i used to watch movies while waiting for class, like 1-2hours sitting around

 

Ive had 2 optima yellowtops in my lifetime of driving, the last one lasted 9 years. I just purchased another one maybe 6 months ago and they are definately worth the money, you will never come out to your car and have it not start. Im trying to decide if i want to take it out of my other car and put it in the ralliart, they are a bit bigger than the stock battery.

 

*cough*mini battery*cough*

 

Optima Red top is fine for you.

 

I had a optima yellow on my rsx and it was a piece of shhhhittt....is more bling than anything else if i were you i would just get something with a long warranty.

 

I don't know for street cars, but I know them to be excellent batteries for offroad (being sealed is a definite plus for any car as you never have cruddy acidic white powdery stuff etc.) vehicles like Landcruisers when I used to work in mineral exploration. They never seemed to go flat and have as much trouble as the normal type - always seemed to crank more and definitely longer lasting as you never had people running them half dry etc.

 

Never heard anyone call any optima batteries a PoS, lol.

 

red top ftw

 

the thing is i found a guy selling a 3 weeks old yellow optima for only 140

 

Hmmm, ive never purchased a used battery before and dont think i would. I think a new red top should be around that price though.
