What batteries are you guys running?
Hey guys,
Looks like its time for a new battery. Currently I'm running an Optima Red battery and it lasted about six years and I was wondering what batteries you guys are running and what you think are the best.

I currently have the Duralast Gold(900 cranking amps@ 32 degrees F./720 cold cranking amps) on the following cars, Firebird,Grand-Am and my Sonoma.As far as my other two cars,once I get around to it,they also will get a Duralast Gold

I've got the Champion copy of the Optima red top battery. It's the same battery but, it's $60 cheaper and it also fits in the battery tray properly.

I'm using a Die Hard Gold battery from Sears. 900 CCA and 1000 CA. I'm running a couple of subs and a desent stereo, so I needed the extra juice.
The only drawback is this battery does not fit in the original slot area. Its larger than the stock size, so it basically sits over the indentaion of the stock battery. It's never moved and has never given me any problems.
It was $80 with exchange and comes with a 3 year full replacement warranty.
