I was looking at pricing today for my trunk battery. Lowest I found was $150 for an Optima BT D34M or YT D34/78. Anyone know of an acceptable alternative that is cheaper? Probably gonna go with the blue top D34M unless i can find something cheaper.
would the group size 24 be a good choice? I can get that with the battery boxfor $149 shipped and it looks to have better specs than the optima 34 seriesThese are better for marine use & cheaper.

**** man i put in everstart maxx and the first thing i found was thisgo to walmart and pick up an everstart maxx, very nice batts for the price. and u get a hassle free warranty. great bang for the buck
Also i cant see a pic but wouldnt that be an acid battery? if so would you run one in your trunk? dont they release gases?Wal-Mart auto battery the Everstart Maxx-IN priced at $60.00 was rated one of the two worst shortlived batteries tested. The other was the Exide Nascar 78DT-84N priced at $80.00. The best in the 34/78 group size was the Costco Kirkland Signature 12860 priced at $60.00.
