Walmart. They sell all REAL name brands, including Optima, Energizer, etc, and i find them to be real real cheap too.

Honestly walmart is likely your best bet.. I didn't even go in looking for one to replace the stock, I took the measurements and got the biggest cold crankin mofo that would fit in there..

Less then 100$

anyone have experience with the energizer car batterys? how do they perform in winter? i went to wal-mart and it's $70, just want to make sure it'll perform.

Hah, funny you mention it. My other vehicle is a Modded Jeep, and there are a lot of times where if you are in sticky situations offroading, that you need to use just your starter to move your vehicle (in gear). Ive used this strategy in soooo many situations, as do other fellow 4x4ers. BUT the point of my story is i went all last season using a good size energizer, and even for winter wheeling, and really really cold ass starts, it worked just fine. Cost me about 80 from walmart. Oh yea, and it also worked great for my 8000lbs winch ( high high amp demand). So there is absolutely nothing wrong with the batts you buy at walmart.

But ive moved onto better things. Optima Yellow top, deep cycle, fully sealed. :drool:

Goto Pick-n-pull right at 9 am when they open. Best selection of batteries, I found a optima red top for $12 and a 690ca eliminator (orbital).
