Battery technology has made some major leaps in the last decade or so and even a cheap battery is pretty good nowadays. Use the site search feature for more info and opinions.

GJ. just for reference, my 9yr old G's battery is still going strong.

all i do is add distilled water to the battery after a full charge every other year, and just keep it on battery tender while car is parked for more than a couple of days.

My '09 OEM battery lasted 4 years, 3 months. My Z build date is FEB 09. My Z has sat in a garage most of its life w/the battery disconnected. I replaced it w/an Interstate Mega-Tron + (MTP-35).

Mine is 4 years and 2 months old right now.

Sometimes I have to charge it before a track event if I haven't driven it in 2 or 3 months, but once charge, its holds the charge just fine. Started today with no problems after sitting two weeks.

2010 just turned 24,000 miles no problems so far.

or go to local Advance Auto and by this guy for $172
Buy Optima Batteries RedTop Starting Battery, Group Size 35, 720 CCA 35 at Advance Auto Parts

i hear optima's quality went downhill since moving production to mexico. this is hearsay, so dont know for sure.

per mr.gale's recommendation, i would get a duralast/ever start from your local auto parts store or walmart. i believe either can take your old battery for a discount on your new one.

sounds good, float is wat the battery needs. :) adding distilled water also helps.

2010 42,000 miles. Mine just died yesterday. I had it for 3 yrs and replaced it with Optima red top.

For those of you in hot climates, might want to check the water level more often.

cause i think it's evaporating due to the excessive heat.

65K+ since June 2010. Still cranking strong.
