[QUOTE="BassTurd, post: 2100482, member: 569300"] I've got a really weak battery in my 1997 Blazer. I turned the radio on while cleaning a few things out of it, and after 5 minutes of playing, I had to get a jump. No local places carry the optima I'm wanting, so I have two batteries to choose from. One is a Autozone Duralast Gold for $79, the other is an Exide Orbital (supposed to be the same technology as Optima) for $133. I need this today since I'm going to be installing my Mean Green alternator and big three this evening. I just got my Ed 9.4 hooked up last night, and will be installing the Ed 9.1 tonight. I don't want to be knocking on my neighbors door at 6:30 in the morning again. Is it worth almost $60 more for the Exide? Or will the Duralast Gold work well enough? Reliability is the big concern here. I don't play the stereo with the engine off much. I appreciate any help you could give. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
