What Battery Are You Using
I'm preparing to replace my battery and am interested in those used by forum members. If your batter is not listed, just select the link to add a new item in the poll.
Thanks, Ed

An important consideration is buying one that will fit in the battery box,

What color is the paint on your car? It looks simular to the C5 medium spiral grey metallic. It's the best looking grey I've ever seen!
Oh, Delco Freedom

I purchased a AC Delco battery with a 72 month warranty.
I also use a battery disconnect too.

I am using a Sears Security, you can turn the battery on and off and I love it. It leaves the thief two choices 1) bring your own battery or 2) tow the car away.
It will stump the honest thieves anyway

I bought the cheapest wal-mart battery that fit the car. I think it cost $29.95. It has worked without a hiccup for 4.5 years now.

My car is laid-up for 5 mos. or so during winter. I used to put the biggest "Die Hard Gold" I could fit. In three years they were kaput! Now I've had a Delco 72 monther. Very, very pleased. It dropped right in.

I use the top-of-the-line battery (EverStart) available at Wal-Mart so it's easy to replace (they're always open and around every corner).

I just had to replace mine this weekend...the guy told me that the brand/CCA shouldn't make a difference for a car that I only get to drive about 6 times per summer....I bet he's right.
