New Car Battery
Hey guys, my cars battery started acting up couple of weeks ago, and i took it to get diagnosed, and apparently the battery needs to be replaced.
It was at autozone or discount auto (dont remember) where they offered tons of choices for a new battery. of course, that confused me about what the right choice is I have an 03 ss with power seats, a double din pioneer navigation system, and a clifford g-5 alarm system. I was wondering what brands or what batteries you guys use, and what should i be looking for in terms of a new battery. (considering money is no issue, and i want long lasting performance) hope you guys can help me choose a good battery (if it even matters on the brand or battery type ect.) |
optima red top from what everyone here runs, not me though, i bought my car and a week later the battery died, so the dealer put in a napa legend? but optima is what most people have here, goodluck with it!
|
whats the price on an optima?
|
Optima's are great, but pretty darn expensive......
Other batteries are pretty much equal for the most part, I think one is just as good as the next. Personally I prefer Interstate batteries, but I have a Car Quest Auto (store brand) right now, it has a good warrenty, and good price, plus it was the only thing I could get my hands on when I needed it, because most stores were closed....but it works just fine, no problmes at all... |
i'd have say optima's are bad ass bat...but 260ish bucks i'll hold off untill i get more mods done...currantly running an interstate in the monte and havn't had an issue even in winter when it was
|
20 below and i didnt start it for a week or 2 it was slow to start of course but always fires off neverhad to jump it
|
we use optima red tops at work and have lots of problems with them going bad waaaay too quickly. i will never buy one, especially at that price.
i've bought interstate batteries for many years and they've rarely let me down. that's what i would go with. the only knock i have on them is the bright green color, too flashy. napa sells a good battery too. i had one of those in an old lumina of mine for many years that sat oustide most winters. |
we need chrome battery's...for us "bling blingers"
|
thanks for all your help guys, i went to sears, and got a Die Hard battery. It was their only choice, but i heard they are reputable, got the gold series battery, more battery amps, 8 year warranty with first 3 1/2 years replacement warranty.
|
hey i was just telling you what most people have here, but then again some people have way more things runnnig off it! just what i've heard from here!!
