RE: [DML] What battery is recommended?

["Tom Tait" <TTait@xxxxxxxxxx>]

My opinion - It depends on how you use the car - If you drive it
regularly, then get a nice mid-range battery, maybe an interstate
MTP-78(DT) .  If you only drive it once or twice a month, get an optima
yellow top, which is more expensive, but tolerates sitting a little
more.  And if you only drive it several times a year, get a less
expensive walmart battery, a battery disconnect switch, and a trickle
charger.  Just don't be upset when you have to replace it in a few
years.

Subject: [DML] What battery is recommended?

 

  

Hi all. I am trying to search the old post, but not finding much. I want
to replace my batter, and know I need a group/type 78 side post version,
but forget the details. Also, is there any real difference between and
Optima, Sears Die-hard, and a batter I can pick up at Walmart? If
Walmart is OK, what kind should I choose?

Thanks!

Paul
