I need a battery now! My car barely started tonight after work. I stopped by Lauren's for 5 minutes and I had to jump it again. Does anyone know where I can get these batteries that you guys brough up asap? Discount Auto only had AutoCraft batteries??? Screw that...

i got mine in largo at safe start i think thats the name.
great to work with only people i found that still had d51r batteries instock when there was a national shortage. they have a pretty much any battery you could ever want there. prolly a bit of a drive for you though if you arent already in tampa.

Batteries Plus has Optima. But the Odyssey battieries at the link Andrew posted are a little cheaper. You need a deep cycle battery as much as you drain your battery. Deep cycle batteries can recover better from draining down completely and recharging.

im not really sure ryan needs a deep cycle battery. he doesnt have a stereo system that will put a strain on the battery. his problem his is was just gettin old and once you drain a nondeep cycle battery they never fully recharge. that is one plus though to gettin a deep cycle battery ryan, if you drain it it will fully recharge.

jose most people get the yellow top d34r or the red top 34r
you need the r because our cars have reverse terminals.

i personally got the yellow top d51r cause its smaller and lighter then the stock battery and is deep cycle.

I'm saving $100 and gettting a Duralast Gold from Autozone for $80. It comes with a 3-year replacement plan...that's good enough for me.

jason for you i might look for a blue top. those are the deep cycle marine batterys and work well for large stereo systems. either that or i would get a yellow top either the d34r or the d51r.
