Default Battery time......suggestions?

She wouldn't turn over this morning due to the cold (-4f) so it's time to get something a little stronger up in there.

I'm in "STF mode" and I'm seeing multiple posts of Optima and DieHard. Any indicators on model numbers for these units? 34R and 35 are predominant for the Optima, but no real mention of the DieHards...

Thanks in advance.

Default My suggestion...

Get one. HAHA! Okay, no...

Anyway, I've had the Diehard International for only a year or so, but it's been trouble free. (knocks on wood)

Default I've been happy with the Autozone Duralast Gold.

Sub-zero temps around here lately and it cranks right up. I can't remember the model number but the guys at Autozone told me which one. Seven year warranty IIRC. The battery height was a little short but it basically dropped right in.

Was there a model number to that Jeff? (CCAs are what I'm interested in at this point)
