Hey all,

Trust me I've done my search and either I do not know how to search well or the search is being annoying today.

I have a medium to large stereo in my car, and I do like to listen to my music when I have the car off, drying he car, at a BBQ, etc.

Simple Q: What deep cycle batteries out there last a while while being direct fit. I don't care on brand, and price matters. All I know is about yellow top optima's but I hear they only last a few years and there is no direct fit ones for our cars in that model.

This is also my DD and I drive it everyday if that matters. I'm in college and I'd like to get my money's worth ;)

Thanks.

my 99 TA is my DD and I've got a red top optima under the hood, my buddy's got a yellow top under the hood of his 94 z28. I'm gonna be putting a yellow top that i've got in the garage under my hood soon, just cause I've got a "couple" of electronics that I'm running. the optima's are a little large, but well worth it if you've got an extra $150+ laying around. I feel ya about the money issue while going to college, I'm in the same boat.

i had a yellow top in my silverado for 6 years before i sold it. this was constant starting in the southeast texas heat. so whoever said they dont last is full of crap.

Ok. So what model with side posts yellow top is the one the "fits" our F bodies, and is there any modding to make them fit?

i went with the 78 series they sell at sams and it fit, kind of a tight squeeze.
