Dry Cell Batteries

Besides the popular Optima Red Top, are there any other dry cell batteries you guys use? I want to safely relocate my battery to the trunk and trying to see if there is a cheaper way of doing it then spending $160+ on an Optima Red.

Can you run a full size battery with a Upper pipe?

Only if you go long-route. Sounds like the OP is relocating the battery to the trunk though.

Better get an Optima soon if you decide to go with one of those, they're having a 20% price increase on them

Quit being a cheap *** and buy a red top. I have had the same one in my Talon for the last 5 years and has been fully discharged more than once and still works great. They are worth every penny IMO.
