im gonna run 4 100 watt lights with little 80 watt amp and a winch in the near future what battery would be best i was looking at yellow tops but i have heard more bad things that good. i only wanna run 1 battery as well

 

I am one of those that has had great luck with optima's. I love them since they are gel cell can be mounted sideways and don't corrode the battery terminals.

I just built up a mount for two red tops under the hood of my xj.



However...

It seems that the Odyssey or the DieHard Platinum is the way to go. Make sure it is the Platinum P-1 though

you can search but here is a link

Also you might want to look into an alternator and electrical upgrade,

 

i've had good luck with the duralast yellow tops, i just get the biggest one that would fit

 

Optima red. Had it for 5 years, still powers like the energizer bunny.

 

Without a properly sized alternator to charge the mega sized battery, your going to be replacing the alternator fairly often also. The largest stock offering should be OK, but it is something to think about.

i only went up to 1000 cca, and 875 ca

 

Red tops are made to start the car and nothing more.
Yellow tops are made to start the car and run accessorize.
Blue tops are made for boats.

:P

Also, they have expiration dates. I know, for a fact, if they sit on a shelf for more than a year at autozone, they sell them for 50% off or better... but they will never tell you that cause all the employees want them

 

Odyssey!

 

Actually I'm in need of a new bat myself and I'm leaning towards the Sears P1--for 199.00.

probably gonna pick it up tomorrow.
