Battery choices

[audi314]

So my battery has served faithfully for 5 almost 6 years and about 60K and is due for replacement. I have seen guys running optimas and even someone running and odessy. What are some of you running with? Anyone have pictures of how they fit the new battery?

i got a Bosch from pep-boys. swaps right in, but i needed to lenghten the vent hose.

Duralast Gold is what I have. It works great for me. My mom's van has had one for 115k and the thing is working like new. (btw 225k on the van)

duralast has been great. way lighter than the oem battery, perfect fit and comes w/ 3yr warranty.

Im running a yellow-top(35 series) with no issues. I used the mounting block that came with the battery and it hasnt moved at all since I've put it in. One thing to note is that the stock battery has a vent tube connected to it to remove any gas that might come because of the acid... dont worry about that as it is not needed for the optimas.

I got the red top a few months ago and I love it.

Can you mount the optima batteries upright or do they have to be put on their sides?

Optimas can be mounted in any position, even upsidedown but I wouln't do that.
