Being that i have alot of electronics in my truck, i think a better battery would be a good idea. i here and see that people use i think whats called an optima battery. is it a good battery and should i do the upgrade?

 

From what I have read, Optima is not what it used to be. They were bought out and they have been in major decline, quality wise. I bought a high amp Interstate.

 

i believe in upgrading to a better battery, i would have to get one with more amperage output right? whats the stock batteries good for in a 08 screw. like lifewise and amps??

 

I completely agree with Bluejay. Do some comparison shopping. Who offers you the BEST warranty for the money? That's who you want to go with in my opinion.

im deff gonna price and shop around.

figure i start now before mine dies down the road.

 

I may be off on this, but I think the OEM is 650 amp and mine lasted 35 months. I bought one, seems like 950 amp.

 

whats the amp output rating on a stock battery? what should i get. i am clueless when it come to this stuff.

 

i have kinetik audio batteries in my show truck and both my daily truck and car they are the hot items with car audio crowd and im also sponsored with kinetik heres a link http://www.kinetikaudio.com/2009/default.asp

 

If you want the best battery you need to invest in a ODYSSEY battery that is the BEST battery you can buy in the market right now.

I have a interstate batterie, there a good brand for the price. I think it was like $150 somewhere in that range.

 

Ok, il check out Interstate and prob odyssey. I guess I'm looking for something that puts out more then 90amps?

 

Sears Platinum is EXACTLY the same as the odyssey. Tad bit cheaper and easier to warranty on top of that.

As far as the best...Kinetik is right up there with it, if not surpassing.

 

when i got my new battery over the summer i got one with around 800 Cold Cranking Amps which means its a beast. there are alot of brands to look at and choose from. id even look at the duralast gold from autozone. they have an 800CCA one that has like an 8 yr warranty on it for like 100 bucks

 

the odyssey battery better be good for 475 bucks!! that i'll stick with my optima yellow top i've had for 5 years with no problems.

 

800 cca seems like alot. the interstate i was lookin at had bout 540..which 1 do ya got that has 800cca jake?
