Other than typical batteries (Die Hard, Autozone, etc.) I have only run a Yellow Top Optima and that thing was THE TRUTH. Eliminated all lights dimming from my amp/sub and it always started and ran no problem in the extreme cold.

Redtop FTW!

My stock battery lasted 8 months...my red top, well, I bought it back in 2004 after the failure of my stocker...still going strong...I am running a 5ch amp/ front/rears/sub and two 7" monitors...

I really like the Optima batteries.

I'm sure the diehard battery is fine though...
