I don't know which battery to get. My brother told me that I needed a better battery. I'm running on Duralast battery. Brand new, just got it like about 4 months ago. Which battery is best for like overall? Including sound, performance, etc.

As alot of people notice, not all of my electrical parts of my car get enough power. They steal each other's power left and right. Like for example, not all my bulbs light up in the back when I press on brake. They all work, but not all of them light up. Another example is when I turn on my headlights, my interior including my gauge cluster lights dimm down by 50%! I need a battery that can give my whole car full power. Or do I need a better Alternator?
