Default Need Battery Help

My battery died, unexpectedly, and I need a replacement. What's the best replacement battery out there. I know nothing about batteries.

One with a 5 year or more guarantee. My DieHard Gold seems to get replaced every other year. Sears asks no questions.

I went with Walmart's MAXX75. 3 year unlimited warranty, $70 installed. Plus side, there is a Walmart in every corner and they are 24/7.

I took a different route and got an Optima Redtop. I like the fact that it won't leak over already aging wires. :yesnod:

Well, I ended up with an AC-Delco with a 6 year warranty. Kinda high $, but previous AC-Delco never gave me any problems. :cheers:
