Default Need Help Fast!! Battery Question!

Ok.. it finally happened this morning, went to crank my '02Z and sure enough my original battery took a dump! No warning.. just died. I had driven the car yesterday and all seemed fine. Oh well. I have seen several threads about Optima Batteries and I need to know from the guys who are using them if you bought the red or blue top and what the CCA rating is. I don't want to buy the wrong one. Also who sells them? I have the blue tops (deep cycle) installed on my Triton bass boat for the trolling motor and they have held up well.
Thanks in advance for the input!!!

Ahem.... ditto! My Red Top was replaced before the dreaded leak. So far, so good. Might I suggest an advanced search? Not a sermon - just a suggestion.

When it was time to change out my battery, I went with the Optima Red Top. It was really great advice given to me by many Forum members. Thanks everybody.
