Default Battery Suggestions

Well I think I need a new battery for my 96 LT-4. If I let the car sit for about 5 days, its real slugish when I try to start it. I dont think its holding a charge anymore cause my Alt. is charging just fine.. So does anyone have a good battery choice. Should I just pick one up at Wal-Mart? The one that is in it now is an AC-Delco which I think is the factory battery. Thanks......

AC Delco is factory. I replaced mine with a Sears Diehard Gold. Always been good for me.

Almost anything but a Delco. They tend to fall apart at the terminal.

Pay $40 at walmart, costco, k-mart, or other store like that to get a battery that will start your car. Pay double and buy the delco if you want it to look like the car did brand new. Pay tripple and get an optima if you want the latest thing. jmo
