I currently use a Diehard Platinum in mine, but they do not make them anymore. I believe it was made by Exide so you can look for one of them.

AutoCraft Platinum AGM from Advance Auto..
I;ve had really good luck with the platinum and gold line series of these
batteries.
Stay away from the walmart junk !
AGM is preferred due to the PCM being located under your battery. Less chance of
leakage and lot of $$ damage

Since there only a very small number of battery makers in this country and the main difference is the brand name and stickers on the side I went to Walmart and got change back from my $100. No regrets, I don't go to car shows and open the hood or take pictures.

I have recently found Northstar which is easily the equal to Odyssey. Headquartered in Sweden and manufactured in USA (Springfield, MO). They use brass terminals and like Odyssey, pure lead plates in the cells. Odyssey and Northstar warranties are better than Optima as well.

Lot of users of the Optima. Why red over the yellow or yellow over red. What's the difference?
