Tried starting the car but battery died. Stock battery since '04. What's a good brand should i replace it with?

I tried searching some people's using Optima and Duralast Gold.

Thanks!

 

Bump, interested in finding this out too, pretty sure my battery is dead..... havent drove it in 3 weeks and it's having a hard time starting / not starting at all.

 

I got an Optima Red Top.

 

I had to get a boost last night. Car was completely dead and took a few starts to get it going with the boost. It was a week prior to me last driving it. Gonna look into get a new battery soon too. I have an 06 with the original battery.

 

Where did you pick that up?

 

Not sure if anyone heard of Toofastmotors.com.

Thanks for the PM, a little far for me, LOL!

 

Optima yellow top..

 

I heard costco used to have Optima but not anymore, I'll have to stop into one on the weekend to check.

 

I've seen the Optima Batteries at Walmart, but I think they only have the Red Top's

 

Just got a redtop from http://www.toofastmotors.com/ for $169.99 with old battery trade in, you can also get it from http://www.teamsls.ca/

 

You don't need to go too crazy with your barrary, I swapped out my stock 05 battary early fall last year with a MotoMaster Eliminator and she's starts just fine and has held up great throughout the winter considering I don't drive in the winter months and start her up once a month and didn't bother to disconnect my negative cable. You'll be fine with a canadian tire purchase on this one.

 

How much is the MotoMaster?

Red top didn't seem too costly, acid free, and some other specs that seem pretty enticing lol

 

Careful you don't blow your starter. A $100 battery can turn into a $500 repair quick.

FYI, the Optima Red Top is about 5lbs lighter than the stock batt.
