I need a new battery for my 04 coupe. What is the best battery I can get? There seems to be a lot of trouble with the red top, so I'm inclined to stay away from those. Any suggestions would be helpful.
i went through two optimas yellow tops in three years, junk
odysseybattery.com/check out odessey batteries AGM design its the same people that make the batteries for combat www.enersys.com/.
They are a little pricey but you will never have to worry about your battery and Auxiliary's ever again.
i run high comp engine with electric water pump,dual fuel pumps and a whole mess of electronics, this thing will run you tank you have parked in your driveway
by the way as many people think die hard is the same battery dont be fooled die hard is a piece of junk made by the same company (Johnson contols) that make most others, inclouding Optima
I personally never understood why people put a trickle charger on and leave it for months at a time. It's unnecessary. I just start mine once a month and let it run to charge the batt, make the charging system work, and circulate the oils.
The rule of batteries is this.
Summer will kill a batt. Winter will let you know how good your battery is.
Your assumption is correct in that you dont understand the difference between battery trickle chargers and maintainers apparently. Second--multiple dry starts much worse than a single dry start in the spring. Fog the motor if you want to avoid both but really not a big deal good synthetic oil just doesnt disappear from cylinders over a winters time
From: Dear Karma, I have a list of people you missed.

They use to make the Die hard, not anymore,try calling Enersys 1 610-208-1991 and asking them the same question, they will direct you to Johnson controls for all the sears batteries as off three years ago.
I just bought a Red Top a little over a month ago. So far my car hasn't blown up. Only time will tell if it was worth the investment. Unfortunately, as you can see, you're going to get a wide array of opinions.
