Best Battery for our car is....??

I have heard optima, but heck..don't feel like modifying our cradle at all. I believe I am in need of one after the 2nd time I had to jump the vehicle in the past week. (doesn't help it is 4 degrees)

Thoughts/opinions are appreciated.

Thanks again!

I didn't have to modify anything to put in an Optima 34R, but your mileage may vary...

Some folks have had to modify the ...>>

Battery base. I don't know if they changed it or what, but it was a drop in for me...Everything fit, and clamps worked OK..

I put in an Optima 35 a week and a half ago. Fits right in with no modifications.
