Looking for a new battery for my car, i was pretty much set on an optima red or yellow top. I hear from others that costco now is selling them so i head over there to check them out. Unfortunatly there are none that is in the 51 group, however i see a kirikland one that does. 100 month warrenty, 36 month replacement, and cost 35bucks. Already contemplating on a averge sound system i wasnt sure if i should go this route. What do u guys suggest...optima or kirkland.

I managed to squeeze in a blue one.
Plenty of CCA
It's really good for cranking the parasite supercharger system and for those deep base requirement

if it's got a good warrenty then I wouldn't worry about it. It should be fine for that amount of time...and if it's not, then take it back...there shouldn't be anything wrong with their batteries, personally I probably wouldn't buy one, cause I'm all about lightweight...but whatever.

you cant really compare a kirkland battery to an optimum. not that the kirkland is bad, but the optimum costs 3x as much because its a dry cell battery, no leaking. if youre running a stock setup, I would just go for the smallest/lightest battery you could find....the kirland will get you around just fine.

The dry cell batteries are supposed to be really light.
