Battery replacement recommendations

[The Car Stereo Company]

a red top is just a standard battery. meant for just starting your vehicle. if you arent pushing high performance or high current devices, it will work just fine

Die Hard Platinum FTW!!! Its is and Odyssey battery cloaked in a Die Hard casing.
Optima used to be the bees knees back in the day now they just suck in my opinion. My last 2 optimum purged themselves and the batteries expanded in less than a year.

No big deal right they have a warranty. Let me tell you how optima's warranty works you send Optima your battery (shipping is on your dime) they evaluate it to determine if i was really a faulty battery. The whole time this is happening you truck is without a battery.

Plus optima only has like two battery sizes and they never fit factory battery trays that well. Always flop and slide around with there plastic adapters.

Are DieHard Platinum still available?

Looked at Sears online and there's none available in Colorado stores or for shipping! Went to our local Sears and they didn't have a single one. I could not find a service person in the automotive department to ask if they are discontinued. Does anyone know what's up with the DieHard Platinum?

Don't sell them anymore. Now they're gold.

Gold is weak

Don't sell them anymore. Now they're gold.

Stupid Sears still shows them on their web page! The Gold is only 750 CCA compared to the Platinum which was 950 CCA. Guess I'll have to go with the Optima Redtop.

Just replaced my battery with a Sears platinum (made by Odyssey). Was told by the tech that they are being d.c.'d and replaced with a less expensive version made my East Penn Mfg. Look around as at least a couple of stores in my area still had them as of of earlier this week.

Battery changing questions. Can anyone confirm if it is a good idea to return to a stock tune before a battery change. Also has anyone tried one of those contraptions that you plug into the the 12v power point to save radio stations and such?

Getting ready to buy an odyssey.
