In my opinion, You cannot go past an optima red top battery. The battery technology far surpasses any standard flooded cell type for many reasons.
1. Spiral agm type cells have a much higher cca rating, anywhere between 500 and 800 cca.
2. Agm (absorbed glass mat) batteries do not gas when charging so no ventilation needed.
3. Much better vibration resistance, Glass mat is between plates to absorb acid and stop plates vibrating.
4. Faster charging.
5. Less self discharge.
6. It looks like a six pack!
I can also vouch for the odyssey agm batteries they come in a much smaller case size and can turn over a pinto like a champ.
If you have a stereo setup and like to run it without the engine on. Go the optima yellow top it can also be used as a deep cycle battery.
Grab yourself a Ctek xs800 battery charger and you will be laughing.
The charger is no good for a bulk charge if you have a flat battery but for 80 bucks you cant go past it. The Ctek will keep your battery charged when not used for long periods. Ctek's will pulse charge so it basically keeps an eye on the voltage an tops it up as needed.
No risk of over charging you can leave it on all the time!
Leave the 2 pin fly lead attatched to the battery and just plug the chager into it when not using the car.
Any questions dont hesitate to give me a call at work.
