Wow. Good to come back and see some great suggestions.

I guess I'm cutting out the optimas.

What about Exide batteries? Anybody have any experience with them?

You might get lucky and get a good one but in my experience Optima battery quality has gone into the crapper. I used to swear by them but I have had six fail on me in various different vehicles. I'll never buy another one again.

There's a huge thread about Optima on CACO or if a search was done on Google it might bring up a link.

OP, long story short, Optima's buildhouse/assembly of the batteries was moved to Mexico, out of the states. The reason they fail faster is because the plates they use inside isn't virgin lead. Therefor, they last shorter times, than the o/s Optima's. Not only that but have also seen a huge increase on pricing on them around me, about 220 bucks new.
