I am looking to put a new battery in my 2010 Ralliart, the stock battery just isn't doing a good job. Which battery is recommended? I have a 1000watt sub amp and an aftermarket alarm system in there, and I regularly travel to freezing temps.

I was looking at the diehard gold ($115) or the optima yellowtop (~$180)

any help?!

Never ran a diehard before, i think they're dry cell too. Yellow tops are ideal for your amp/accessories but they don't make them like they use to anymore.

Amazon has a yellow top on sale right now for 140ish fyi.

Thanks for the amazon tip! Is a yellowtop a bad investment? should i just stick with the sears brand battery?

Diehard > Optima....

I have 6 Optimas ranging from Red, Yellow and Blue (2 each) in my garage...all dead.

Something tells me you DON'T like Optima too much.... :shades:

would you if you had as many dead optimas in the last 5 years as I did? I basically had to get a new one every year.
