Odyssey or optima for sure

 

I've always had good luck with Sears Die Hard batteries ... however, I've heard nothing but good things about Optima Yellow and/or Red top.

What I'm curious about is the new, Lithium-type batteries. I saw a brief description in a recent Jp magazine, but loaned out the magazine to a buddy so I don't have the mag/article for reference. Supposedly they are significantly smaller/lighter and one might be able to put 2 batteries in the space of a traditional battery in the JK's? I'm considering going to a 2 battery system with the installation of a winch and cost/space/weight is always a consideration.

 

woops i knew i got my facts mixed up! i used to work at advance auto and i got a lecture one day about where batteries were made who made them and all that fun stuff.

 

I installed the yellow top Optima in my 2008 JKUR two years ago and haven't had any issues. I run lights, winch, a power converter that could run a small city and other accessories. They are a bit expensive, but comparable to most good batteries.

 

never had a platinum but every experience I've ever had with die hard was that they do exactly that..die hard (and fast). Had one internally short and fry a bunch of stuff in my car, had another die 3 months after I got it...Just died(different cars)...they replaced them both under warranty, didn't fix the stuff it fried in my car and I don't think either lasted longer than 2 years after that. both were gold's I think

 

Can't go wrong with the yellow top Optima, works great.

 

Check out xs power batteries. They are some of the best agm style batteries made.

 

Odyssey batteries best one on the market...the set the standard for the AGM market

They are great batteries, however both northstar and xs power trump the odyssey.

 

This is true.
