[BadAndy]

I have been using walmart batt in the mustang and everything else but they do-not seem to last, what does everyone like???

 

[timeless2]

Optima.

 

[Roland69]

optima red top is the shezzznit

 

[criticman]

What about a good battery that is less than $90?

 

[Roland69]

I paid 80 for my red top.

just what I was thinking

Optima Yellow top is the best. It will cost you more than $100 of course. Summit has them for $173. A must if you have a very demanding sound system in your ride!

Optima Red is the best for those that don't want to whip out the dough for a Yellow. I've had my Red for 3 years and its been great.

I have a Autozone Duralast Gold in my car. They run about $75.00. I just recently replaced it with another one, but it lasted over 4 years. Plus it still had warranty left, so the new one was only $35.00

Me, too. Ive had several, and they seem to last a long time, plus you cant beat the warranty

That's what I had, they're cheap but they suck.

I got Interstate for 80 or 85 bucks.

Another vote for optima.

 

[Mustang5L5]

Sears Die Hard Gold. Was about $80.

It's been in my 5.0 since i stored it 2 years ago and still has enough charge to crank the motor.

 

[S&B]

i vote OPTIMA but never ever let it run all the way out i have killed like 4 of them doing that. On the other hand i have never had one fail on me in normal driving conditions if maintained properly.

Yellow top all the way the red ones die on me quicker.

 

[RacEoHolic330]

Oh, and just to add, do NOT buy an Interstate battery. From my experiences they are total garbage. I work at a car auction and quite often I'll have to move cars with dead batteries. An easy 80-85% of the dead cars have interstate batteries in them.

 

[poneypower89]

I prefer Duracel or Enegizer...

I just got a DieHard in my car.. over 4 years old and still kick'n

Its not as pretty as a red/yellow top though

The 11 year old factory Motorcraft battery in my 95 F150 still works fine and I live in Iowa so we have real winters. Second time I've had a Ford battery last over 10 years. Awful hard not to like a battery like that.

I was a big fan of Interstate Megatron, but they don't seem to last like they used too, and their pro-rated warranty is lame.

 

[Saleen0679]

I've had problems with Interstate too. I've also heard that the quality of Exide has gone downhill lately also. My two Motorcrafts have lasted 5+years. Decided to try an Optima RT and it's going on its 6th year.

 

[89white50]

Interstate's have always served me well. if i had the $ for a yellow top optima id have one.

I really liked the Optima red top I had before... I ran it down to nothing a couple times and it seemed to bounce right back without any issues. Costco has decent prices on them if you have a membership. Die Hards seem to last a long time as well, I've gotten at least 4 years out of two of them with no problems... not bad considering I was hard on batteries in that vehicle, always running the acessories with the engine off.

I opted to just replace the battery in my stang with a basic 'Autolite' battery from Shucks, since it was fairly cheap and doesn't look too out of place under the hood. I have a kind of a pet peeve about batteries with big ugly labels.
