Suggest a front battery

[Blue Fury 10+ year member]

My stock front battery is finally going out and bviously Im going to need one asap because its my daily driver. Its for a 3.1L 6cyl sedan with a 200a alt and itll eventually have near 3k watts in it but not for a while. I have a NSB 90 and Ill install that in the trunk as soon as I get a tray and like one more fuse holder. Im looking to spend about 150 or no more than 200. I found a new optima Red top 34/78 for 165 but Id like more choices.

HC1400 isn't a bad choice IMO...or if you can fit the 1800 i'd go for that. Also you could check out the XS Power equivelant and see which is cheaper...can't go wrong either way

Can't go wrong with XS Power, stinger, kinetik, NS, BatCap, Yellow/Red top, SPL Cell, Deka, Odyssey, etc...any of those (and im sure im missing a couple more) are very solid choices

Not sure how much room you have under the hood, but a Group 31 batt will not likely fit. From the description you gave, it sounds like a GM sedan. I think you will have some trouble installing the HC1400 under the hood because of the height. A better fit would be the HC1200. it is like a short version of the HC1400.

The Redtop 34/78 is an exact fit though. As long as you don't deep cycle the Redtop, it would be OK to use, but it will never give you the power that a Kinetik or other deep cycle can.
