if you just want a cheap battery see if any of your local autoparts stores has any used ones for sale? I work at an advance autoparts and I am in charge of a used battery program, for my store pretty much what happens is if someone brings a battery in that they leave their lights on for a long time the battery goes completely dead. well when we put it on our tester it immediately comes back as bad and bam they get a new one, now if the battery is relatively new I put it on a charger, let it sit for 24 hours, put it on a load tester, let it sit again and test it one more time to verify it holds a charge and resell it. We also sell any battery that is returned by a customer as a "used battery" as well as any battery a few months old from the shelf. I currently have 4 optimas from running this program. only one has died so far (my fifth one) and that was after a year of owning it. The store I work for sells them for 20 bucks no matter the size or if its an optima or whatever.Would something cheap like this work in the trunk or is this battery crap
