Sears DieHard Platinum or the Odyssey Drycell 34, can't go wrong with either.

This right here. I installed an Odyssey in 2010, and even with a Warn 9.5ti on the bumper and some ugly pulls, I haven't been able to make that battery say "Uncle" for more than 30 seconds.

what he said. we ran optima yellow top for years and was always disappointed with their performance. started running DieHard P-1's and have been amazed at how well the perform and last. they are the only thing we run now.

I need to pick one up as well, the stock battery is crap and I have a new winch on the way. Have read before that Sears will run sales on them. Anyone know how often these come about? Been watching for the last month and haven't seen any sales.

Kinda depends on what you're running?? i.e. winch, lights, stereo, etc.

Wow, I was thinking to upgrade to a yellow top, but I guess now I am going to go with Sears.

Thanks for the post.
