    what battery are you using?

    i was told by many that optima's very good choice but they're pricey, and they don't fit directly

    just wondering what batteries are in your cars now?

    Wal-Mart super-duper 1.21-gigawatt battery, since my factory battery died.

    I think it has a yellow top.

    I like optimas. It is about the first thing I put in any car I buy.

    As for the not fitting part, remember that they make an R version that reverses the terminal locations. That is an issue for some cars.

    They make a small yellow top that works great as an auxillary battery. You can use it in place of one of those big capaciters.
