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.

I have an Optima red top that I got from Sams for $130. I went to O'Reillys and bought a pair of solid brass contacts and rewired them (stock sucks). My car starts no problem, my lights don't dim nearly as bad as they did, the music is cleaner (and yes, it makes a difference). The yellow tops are deep cycle, which would be good as a secondary battery. For a starter battery go red top.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn."
"What?"
"Just do it."
".......He said yes."
"Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up."
".......Sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."
