What car battery do you have in your car?

Cooler seasons are setting in and anyone with an old battery might want to think about changing theirs.

If you've had to change your batter, what battery are you using or would you use next time?

I have an Odyssey 15lb replacement battery. Essentially the Odyssey lightweight battery before they sticker it.

Optima red top. Gotta love it. Way better than the 11lb Braille I had for a year 1/2.

Braille 17lbs. I haven't really had it long enough to give a good review, but so far I have had no problems.

I don't have anything special, but just to put the word out, be careful with the Optima Yellow Tops (not sure if the same goes for the Red Tops). Been hearing a lot lately how the reputation and reliability of the Optima Yellow Tops has dropped a lot. From what I've heard the US made ones are holding on strong while the ones made in Mexico are low quality.

Braille 11.5 lb. Carbon. Great battery. On my second one. I killed the first one buy draining it all the way down a couple times and not rechargining in between for a couple WEEKS. I did the same exact thing to my stock battery. Being careful has kept my new replacement (was free and shipped over night even tho out of warranty) doing perfectly. I only drive it every week or so, have about 8,600 on the clock.

I vote braille.
