Of course! Everyone needs more!

Does running the stock battery give you any trouble with all that audio equipment? I know mine used to give me light dimming with the bass hits till I got the Optima Spiral Cell dealy.

I didn't know people debated these kinds of batteries. They're all so fast and powerful, I'd figure they'd all work fine.

How can you even tell the difference between a yellow top and a stinger?

Oh, and to the post 2 up, Optima Spiral Cell is just a high performance battery that can sustain massive drain. I added the word 'dealy' (as in thingy) to the end, not delay.

The big difference is the CCA. It gets really cold here, so Cold Crank amps have to be big! Optimas have around 800 CCA, which is why I have it.

PS: Sorry about the threadjack

Lol, well at least it's good info if he was planning on getting a battery.

That last one has some very nice specs, almost the same as what I have (the 1100 CCA model). How much did that one go for, if it's cheaper than what I paid it might be a good choice for my next battery.
