Any Good Batteries. . .

That I can buy from a walk in store?

Like Sears, Checker, etc.

I know kinetiks seem to be the big thing on here, but would there be anything else I could grab fro a moderate price to add to my current battery?

I will only be running about 1300w.

They are the same except for the terminals AFAIK

Check sells optima I jsut found.. But I can't see any because they want you to enter your car info.

Any ball park numbers? Or do you think a "die Hard" battery from Sears would do well?

optimas go for 130-200...die hard gold is around 100

I bought an optima from batteries plus here in the twin cities too.... They aren't cheap. Expect to pay around $200 for a mid sized one

You can get Exxide orbitals local too

Would a DieHard be a good choice?
