Sigh

This is the first day since about November 30th here in eastern Iowa that there's been enough

A) Ice removed
B) Filling of 4 inch deep pot holes

for me to actually take the car out. Although I did periodically let the car run for awhile to make sure that nothing froze or got locked up, it decided to die on me the one day I was actually about to dust the cob webs off and get it road-worthy again...

That being said here's the number one task:

Finding a decent battery that will last, and that I can find at a local auto zone or something....

Anyone have some suggestions?

 

Optima Yellow Top .. its a deep cycle battery and no matter how much its been drained can be fully charged again

 

I have the same problem... I've been through my stock battery and two Optimas now (a yellow top and a red top) All did not survive the winters of the car just sitting in the freezing garage for weeks and weeks.. I think a trickle charger would be best but that's not an option for me..

I currently have a Sears Diehard Gold.. You may laugh but so far it's the only battery to survive a winter in the Z.. well this winter is not over yet in the Northeast so I hope I didn't just jinx myself
