Being I hardly drive the Cobra anymore (maybe 15 miles or so every 2-3 weeks) and she sits a lot I am needing a decent battery as the current exide pos dies all the time. I am thinking of an Optima. Anyone have any suggestions on where to get them locally for a decent price?

Also if you have a recommendation on a better battery as well that would be appreciated too.

You can't go wrong with a gel battery.

Optima is at Costco on W.Broad St. They have red and yellow tops, don't remember seeing blue.

Woodrow

Richard, How did you like them?

Buy a red top unless you have a massive stereo. If you're letting the car sit like that all batteries will die. Invest in a proper battery tender and forget about the issues.

Woodrow

Yeah I was going with the Red Top after reading their site. I have redone the battery terminal ends recently, so they are fresh. It is just now the car is hardly driven and sits.

I found Pep Boys and AZ along with Advance sells them

Brian, Do you know of one that can easily fit under my hood? My cars sit out under a car port and don't want someone to see that and cables going to my battery.

Eh... the battery tender I have plugs into an outlet... not sure how you'd do that in a carport.

I am trying to find who sells a battery tender(trickle charger) that can be small enough to be hidden.

Brian I think ours are powered. I have to check
