Which car battery would ya recommend to power a new car stearo system without taxing the alternator.

yellowtops are well overpriced. try looking for a northstar nsb75 or nsb90, a datasafe hx300 or somthing in the odyssey battery range.

Have a look at some of the stinger batteries and then compare to the like of odyssey and hawker. same cases, similar Ah and similar internal resistance. I got 2 Hawker Genesis batterys for £20 each which are the same as the Odyssey PC1200 (£150 each) and Stinger SP1000 (£300 each)

Excellent batteries with a nice low internal resistance. better value for money than an optima

optima's are good batteries... that are overpriced. take in to consideration cold cranking amps, the size of the battery, and the weight. i forget what they recommend for our car's cca wise, but i think mine has 800 and i paid around $100 for it at advanced auto. it's all about what you want and what you wanna pay. optima is a good name though you pay for it, just like any brand name.
