Battery suggestion for 2020?

Optima quality has gone downhill. That's why all the positive threads you see on them are old.

Seen normal lead acid ones extend well beyond 5 yrs. Seen AGM fail in 3. How you use and take care of the battery is the most important.

I have one, but my current battery just died anyway.

An Odyssey, or a battery made by them. On the Power Wagon forum. That's the go to battery. We really abuse the electrical system on the trucks by using the winches. I have Sears Diehard Platinum battery made by Odyssey with a DC 270 amp alternator and 00 welding cables for power and ground cables.
