anyboy know a good aftermarket battery to get mine is toast!!!

 

And this is in the Buying/Leasing for what reason?

 

well my car is dead in the driveway i own the car and was just wonder if anybody has had to replace thiers and seeing i anybody knew if any brand was better than the other

 

i though this was just under general

 

anybody?

 

My OEM battery is 60 months old and doing fine. When I replace it I may as well go with OEM.

 

optima yellow top

 

what is the difference in the colors of the tops??

 

I went with the Braille B3121...comparable in cost and performance to an Optima but 13lbs less weight.




If you buy it from TireRack they include the mounting bracket.

 

the optima yellow top is just the model. i believe its a gel type battery instead of the fluid type on the oem. making it lighter and less vulnerable to being killed if and when the battery is completely drained. i looked around for a bit and saw that the yellow tops were nearing $100, and I would've bought one if it was available at the shop near my place. But I ended up with buying a Wal mart battery with a 3 year warranty

my oem battery went dead when it was completely drained after I left my car in storage for 3 months. I should have at least disconnected the battery, but I didn't intend on leaving the car idle for so long.

 

go to autozone and get a duralast gold

35 DLG weight 38 lbs
640 cold crank amps
810 crank amps

$89.00

 

yeah that is what happened to mine it has been sitting since before thanksgiving and i went to start it and run it around for a while to blow all the dust out of it but she just wasn't having it
