Da fuq did I just read?
Do they not sell Exide or Optima at Autozone?
if you use this as your ONLY battery starting the vehicle could be a little problem in the future as you don't really have good cranking amps only good amp hours for longer durations. keep a starter batt up front and stick a smaller battcap somewhere in the back ( a Battcap 600 is pretty small and will do fine for systems up to 1500 rms sometimes more with no probs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, we sell Optima, but these batts are less than 1/2 the cost lol
I run Duralast marine batteries on all of my vehicles and farm equipment. End of worries for you son. I love how they have the stainless stud next to the reg post for attaching amp wire or accesories on my tractors. If 1 of the medium size will crank any car/truck I have, you are fine. And I have the marine in size 27 or 29, I forgot, but it cranks my JD 4230 every time, first time. The marine Duralast are maybe the best batteries on the market, as they ARE NOT made with the regular duralast JUNK.
dude that link is to a air cleaner or filter lol
lol.
