Best Battery???
My battery is officially dead...was late to work today, waiting for a jump start. 
What battery should i replace it with?
Will one of those costco ones work fine?
Should i get an optima, are those worth the extra money?
Thanks.

My Costco only has the Red Top.
I picked up the Yellow top from Kragen auto parts.
I think its worth the money if you have after market stereo and you are concerned about deep cycling the battery often.

I'm going to be in the market for a new battery as well. So if your car is just stock, go for the optima red top? Aren't they a little smaller than the stock fit? I could get a diehard gold a little cheaper and it'll prob last 5-6 years, so what is the advantage of the dry cell?

Got the yellow top in my baby. I have a system though. Even if you don't, it can still hold up better for when you leave your lights on. I have left my dome light on for 12 hours, come out in the am, cranks right up.

I told my car it's an Optima and so far, it seems to be fooled- starts right up each morning!
