Default battery is dead what battery should i buy?

yeah my battery is due for a replacement; i was thinking about getting a red optima over the yellow bc i dont have any ice.

other than the red optima can anyone else recommend another battery. im in the range for no more than like $120 cheaper would be great too but i would like get a decent performing battery

Go with the red. If you have audio, there are some better ones. I personally like the optima red top. Plus they usually have loger warentees than the regular Duralast, etc.. batteries.

Buy only the sealed [no-maintainance] type. Others let out fumes which creates white powder.

Optima Red is around $120 at Costco. Do remember to pick up the riser tray, you will need it for a better fit.

I just traded my Optima red top from my mustang to my GS since i will be running additional amps and a video system for my little girl. It's overkill but man it looks nice under there. It's the wrong size, but it looks good.

If you need some pics lemme know.
