Odyssey, the last name in batteries IMHO..

Althought I bought an Optima red top, I have subs, amps, ect..

I left it on for about 8 hours solid a an excessive
volumn and my truck cranked right over with no problems..

If you do buy an optima, dont accept one thats got a date of 4 months or older, sitting for a long time is bad on red tops, yellow tops are ok for that tho..
marine blue tops are the best of both worlds..

Look into the Odyssey batteries if your going EV..
I got 13 years out of my old Optima and had lots of load on it..

A guy in my truck club SWEARS by the Odyssey and hes not a guy to BS about electronics, he works for DEI and does all sorts of stuff..
