Optima Red Top - my personal favorite. Others may argue, but my first one lasted six years and the one I have in now is from 2008. Never had a battery last more than three years before that and I have had this car since 1989. Plus, the Optima gives you plenty of warning with slow starts months in advance. a conventional battery gives you a few weak starts and then it won't turn the starter.

Basically, it costs twice as much and lasts twice as long. Great for hot climates like mine.

I don't think I had that choice. I just went to Sam's Club and bought the one that fits in my car. There aren't all that many choices from Optima.

the standard battery uses 525cc amps but you could always get something like 650 and above
