Just ask the sales clerk what options for a suburban battery. Though all batteries are lead-acid + water battery types for gas, all fall under car type category. Big, small, medium.​

What's the batteries overall purpose?

Car audio ?

Do not forget to get a warranty and activate it.

Optima Yellow Top
XS Power

Walmart sells optimas. If you can't afford that or think they're too expensive you got the wrong hobby.

I can afford it. I just didn’t know if I really need to buy the name brand or what numbers I’m looking for. Amp hours , reverse capacity ?

Optimas are trash.

Literally the largest AGM from the auto parts stores, sams club, walmart that you can fit.

Just buy the largest agm that fits. The premium brands like XS power are better, but not by much. ( like 5% stronger ) Unless you’re competing and you’re chasing every last tenth of a amp, I wouldn’t spend the extra money .

This ^^^^

I went from a group 35 lead acid underhood to a H7 agm. It endured my abuse 2yr plus before I just went all in with lithium and just deleted the underhood battery.

If you got a Sam's club around...grab a Duracell they're solid and cheap

I got my XS Power Group 47 AGM from Crutchfield as a blemished battery. Paid close to what an AGM cost at Advance Auto. I paid $288.79. The Group 47 AGM at Advance is $244.99. The "blem" was a nick on the bottom of the outside case. Can't even see it when installed.

I have straight up abused my Shuriken AGM and it's still going strong.

I left my amplifier on for a week while I was on vacation. Came back to see it sitting at 4volts.
Charged it up and never skipped a beat. Had it for 4 years now.
