Diehard, more cranking amps, 4 yr warranty, I've never heard anyone personally having them fail on them. 200 bucks yes, but a well known brand that goes well up to 5+ years for life on them.

AGM/Gel battery will outlast "typical" battery like Duralast gold for sure ...

ITs just that, does the cost offset the benefits.

I got my Optima Red Top 35 for around 130 bux shipped. so for me I think its worth it. No I cant tell you where I got it from. some connections.

but if I dont have this "connection" ... then ... I dont know, I probably gonna go with Duralast gold and be done with it ...

Like I said, I cant tell you, its a friend/connection thing

You can get a Redtop online from Amazon for 141 shipped. but Buying from Amazon also means you will NOT get any warranty from Optima ... I dont know why but it seems thats what is going on. and it sounds like a lot of people got a "broken" battery so ...

Duralast Gold should be good for most.

It only cost 90 bux + tax. and you will be worry-free for the next 3 years.

Check the Fluid level (its distilled water btw) every 1/2 yr or so. and add some if its lower than the mark. and you should be good to go.
