Optima is a great battery if you want to pay the price. You might want to consider the yellow top.

Same here. I really want to put a red top (it would look awesome for car shows) in Precious but the AC Delco is still good. I have know idea how old the AC Delco battery in Silver is. I guess I will have to wait and see next winter if my car starts on a really cold day! LOL

It is the size of the battery. For our 6th gen Montes we take a 34/78. The difference between the red top and the yellow top is that the yellow top is dual purpose (starting & deep cycle). Perfect for people who have very powerful stereo systems so there is enough power to run the stereo with the car not running and be able to have enough charge to drive off.

what you want is an SC34, i will double check when i get to work tomorrow if there's any letters after it, but its a 34 series (which is pretty much the same size as a 78) yellow top, its got posts on the side and the top (dual terminal) but you definetely want a yellow top, the red top has a little more power, but the yellow top has reserve power for those big stereo's
