It's time for a new battery mine has been going bad for sometime. I've managed to squeeze out all that I can, but now it's just getting annoying having to jump my car on cold days. What kind of battery do I need? I'll prolly go swoop one up today.

Thanks

 

"What kind of battery do I need" is a very general question. Are you trying to go for a mini battery or are you looking to just replace the stock one? Do you have any certain requirements as to what company you want the battery from? I upgraded mine to the Optima Red top and gives you great starting power even in the cold.

 

Optima red!!

 

My apologies for being vague. I'm looking to just replace my stock one. I have no extra electronics in my car. It doesn't get incredibly cold here jn California, I'd just prefer reliable starting power. Any links to vendors is a plus. Thank you

 

I will upgrading to Optima in the future also. Where do you buy it from?

 

If you don't have any electronics & are not worried about the elements, I would just save some money and buy a Duralast. Had it in my Z for 2 years in St. Louis and never had a problem, and my Evo has one too.

Or do what I do and buy whatever makes you happy.

 

autozone, pepboys, advance auto parts

 

I work at Napa and we sell them here. Ask them for a good price when you go in. I would not buy a duralast battery, from what I've seen those are junk. I ditched mine, battery wasnt even a year old and I drive the car every day and it died on me.

 

yes, i hear people say duralast isnt so good. just buy a brand of ur choice in ur case. just make sure u dont lose that reciept for replacement! when i baught a battery from oriely's it had a 2 yr warranty. dunno how long other stores' warranties last though..

 

i love my mini battery from bushur, if you go with the mini just buy the battery, you can save yourself the money by just cutting your stock battery tray and a little fabricating

 

A platinum battery from Sears auto center

 

optima red. its gel filled, you dont have to worry about battery acid leaking out.

 

i use a mazda miata sized battery, perfect size and will not a mini.

 

I've had my duralast for a little over a year now with no problems and I have two stereo amps and 4 guages and it gets a little colder over here than it does in cali

 

interstate awesome battery and their warranty program is pretty pimp
