Daily battery question

[R05Nismo 10+ year member]

I want to buy a really good battery for under the hood that will perform well with the engine running and allow me to play my stereo with the engine off without killing it. Not full volume, just a decent level while waxing it or a drive in movie... You get the idea.

This will be my starter and only battery as I have NO room or want an extra battery in my truck.

Total power is 1000rms

Stock Alt- 110amp

It's a Nissan truck and has a reverse post so that is pretty important.

The only battery I found with a reverse post is this Optima. A Yellow Top D35.

Would that be a good choice for my needs? Also, it has 2 different ones for my truck, one says BOXED and the other says UNBOXED. What does that mean?

the yellow top should do u good. THey are made to be drained and regain full charge agiaN(almost full charge).

Also boxed and unboxed pry means, one has been returned and the other is brand new. I would get the used one as long as it puts on correct voltage./

Ok, thanks. I don't think its used because thats how its listed on there site.

I'm going to get a price from work tomorrow. We're a dealer for them.

I'm going to get the Optima D35. I can get it for $142 and they will take my Interstate back which I paid $70 for so I'll only have to pay $72 more for the Yellow Top.
