[DML] new battery

[Soma576@xxxxxxx]

List,

Today i had my charging system tested (volt meter was doing odd things) and 
they said my battery tested bad.  what i want to know now is what battery 
should i get?  in the archives it says that the optima is a good battery, but do i 
really need it?  is it worth the extra money?

I am also having trouble figuring out which battery is the right replacement. 
 is it just called a ' 75 ' ?

My car is driven mostly on weekends so often times it sits maybe 5 or 6 days 
between starting.  i have all of my electical issues sorted out so the battery 
is never dead even after a couple weeks of non-running.  my last battery was 
an Exide and it is about three years old, however it was subjected to frequent 
total discharge in the first two years of its life as i sorted things out and 
fixed some wiring.  i am sure that is what caused its early demise.

what do you recommend out there?
Andy
