My crud Costco battery is slowly dying, so I'm looking for a good replacement. I run an amp on low power and my commute is really short, 2-3 miles to work or school. Needless to say, the battery takes some abuse and doesn't get charged much, although I don't run accessories on battery power that often. I've heard good things about Optima batteries, and I can get a yellow top locally for $120. Thoughts?

I've got an autozone marine battery. 115 amphours ftw. (yellowtop is only 55 iirc).

Simply because the warranty on the marine batteries at auto zone is 1 year free replacement and 3 years prorate. If your not running a sound system a deep cycle battery is worse for performance because its heavier and makes less CCA compaired to a regular starting battery of the same size. |
