Paul I like the optima, because it is sealed cells and does not leak or vent acid. This to me is ideal for the location of the battery in the DMC. YMMV.

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!
