Optima RedTop, A bit more $$ but worth it in my opinion...

Yep. Duracell Agm from Sams for around $100 fits the bill nicely.
You can spend about twice the amount for another brand battery and maybe get another year out of it, but since the batteries are so easy to replace once they do start having problems, why?
Just make sure that the battery tender you are using for the car, is rated for AGM batteries.
As for Optima batteries, that ship sailed a long time ago when they where bought out, and now just produced abroad like every other battery.

Odyssey Extreme is best in industry, metal shell, brass terminals and virgin lead construction. Pulse amps that you can hear every time the starter engages and the lowest internal resistance period. Anything else is just a battery. Then again, any old wet cell does work for a lot less.
