    Good Sealed Battery??

    Where can I get a good sealed battery for around $150. I want to put it in the trunk. I want to be able to sit with the radio on so I don't need a small, lightweight battery.

    What battery should I get? I couldn't really find anything on google.

    I think you can get them at Sams or WalMart for around $175.

    Optima is a good battery, but if you are relocating it to the trunk you probably want it slightly smaller and weigh less.

    Odyssey PC925

    This is what I have in my trunk, it's a lot smaller than the Optima and weighs 10lbs less!

    I heard too many bad things about optima. ^That Battery looks like exactly what I'm looking for but can you get one any cheaper than that?

    Optima Red Top here too. No issues, which is more than I can say for the last two Odyssey batteries. I get about two years out of an Odyssey before it just decides to up and die. One I was using in my Camaro and the other in the 3000GT. Anyways, the Optima's I run in three of my cars have not failed yet, pushing about three years on the one in the Corvette.
