So the battery on the celica im buying this saturday no longer holds a charge very well, so i need to buy a new one. I just wanted to know what your reccomendations are. I see that the optima is a fairly popular battery, but why shouldnt it be for the price (i know i know, you get what you pay for). Braille preformance batteries also intrigue me, but again, the price is up there.
Anyways, im not running anything super fancy. Im even on stock stereo (but do plan to upgrade my deck and speakers). So what do you guys think is a good value/reliable battery ? Also, Any comments from someone who relocated their battery would be great. I saw the posts/how-to, but didnt see any comments about if the owner noticed a difference from the weight distribution (or were you just doing it to make more room in under your hood).

I love my optima. Used to have problems with my stock battery with it losing a charge and what not and haven't had any problems since I got my optimas in. I know they're steep in price but I love mine

I use an Optima Red Top in two of our four cars. As soon as one of the other cars batteries goes, a Red Top is going in. Great battery, 3 year replacement (NOT PRO-RATED).

yes i have a red top too... the yellow was quite pricey and the red was affordable, and also fixed the problem of my regular battery holding no charge... will hold up well for any stereo work you do too, as it handles my system nicely
