Battery died the other day due to the cold and again today so im in the market for a new battery, im looking for something that is reliable #1 and #2 will eventualy be able to handle the components and amp i have now with the sub and amp to be added to my system later....sooo im just looking for a good middle of the road batt that wont let me down in the dead of the winter and will be able to handle a system......what do yall have in mind?

 

Orbital XCD or Motomaster SpiralGrid deep cycle.
Both available at CT or PartsExpress for ~$149 usually.

 

any other options? i think the yellow top is out of my range , how does the red top stack up?

 

While your at it you might want to get charging system checked to. Wal-ly's Mart has some mid-line batts w/ not bad warrintys <sp>.

 

If you have a member ship. Check out Sams club, they have some really good deals on yellow tops.

 

i'd saygo witha new battery from wall-mart! the ofte have good ones with good prices. and decent warranty. if not try a deep cycle from canadian tire...

Or, since you said middle of the road, you could just get a good strong new battery. Aim for ~800cca (lower isn't as strong, but 650 is about the norm in Accord sized batteries, higher {in auto bat sizes} has to many parts and don't last as many years). These can be had in the $90 - $120 range. In Canada, under normal use, you should get 4-5 years out of a normal car battery. 3-4 years in warmer climates or high-end use.

 

I own an exide orbital extreme and it's a great battery. I'd recommend one of those. If you are looking for used I might be willing to sell mine so shoot me a PM if u are interested.

Either way, nice battery and you can get them at Canadian Tire [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

I've always been a fan of Can Tire Eliminator batteries.
