My OEM battery will not hold charge anymore. Whats a good battery to replace with?

 

Optima

 

I like the Exide Orbital.

 

Optima Red Top, amazing battery !

 

The Braille battery seems an interesting choice.

 

interstate!

 

haha mine woudn't hold charge anymore also went out and bought a optima red battery on sale at sears right now.

 

Why not stock? Seems to have lasted you a few solid years now ...

 

+1 on the stock, its holding up very well even with my system

 

Are there anything out to make the cable reach? I got the yellow top and the terminals are on the wrong side (they are closer to the firewall) with my set up they will not reach.

 

You bought the wrong battery. Take it back and get the battery with the correct posts.

 

thats what I thought but the ports are right and one the right sides (left - right +) but I need them on the top closest to the front of the car not the fierwall where they are now. My cables will not reach and I cant make them longer

 

They actually make batteries (I don't know if its red or yellow) with the terminals on the front ... so it is truly a drop in replacement.

Sorry I don't know the number .. but maybe a search fo ptima's site would reveal the right one.

 

thats just it bro they are on the front but need to face the rear to have the - and + on the proper sides

 

Optima actually mounts the post in the middle that way you can flip it around.

 

yea you could flip it around but the cables will not reach still I need a adapter for the terminal

 

Had the same problem, stereo shop extended my battery cables!

 

optima does not make a direct replacement in yellowtop for the Z, only the red tops

 

check out the latest Consumer Reports, they rated various manufacturer's automotive replacement batteries. I think Autozone got really good review.

 

Stock one is the ****, or Optima Red or Yellow if you have 12V accessories. Braile 11lbs are cool too
