Which battery to run my truck?

[Bigrick31 10+ year member]

Well im not to familure with all the different battery brands i mean if i were on my own on this id probably just go and buy an optima red top to run my nissan mini truck. but i wanted to ask what everyone would reccomend to run the mini truck itself i will add a second battery for the accessories later for now though 1 battery will run the truck and my compressors for my air ride. so what battery do you reccomend?

Optima yellow top

Optima yellow top

if you are just using it under the hood, and not running a system without the engine running, a yellowtop is a waste of money. the everstart maxx has more cca then the yellowtop D34/78 and cost 1/3 the price.

my audio system will be ran off a sencond battery however the 1 battery i will use for now will have to be strong enough to support my air ride in my truck

red tops are starting batteries, not running. i dont think you would want to go with one of those if you plan on it supporting your air ride

bingo. if you go w/ optima go w/ the red top. the yellow are for 2nd,3rd,4th etc. batteries

an everstart maxx has more cca then any redtop. since you are running multiple batteries, i don't see the need for a redtop under the hood.
