It's that time - the old battery is getting pretty run down, especially in this cold weather.

Who makes good replacement batteries now a days? I used to use an Optima yellow top, but I had heard they changed and were not as good as they used to be. How about Exide? Any other suggestions?

I (still) use Optima batteries in all our vehicles.
Never let us down even when it was -20F

I have had great luck with Advance Auto’s AGM batteries. They are my go-to. There is one in both the X and the Frontier. Besides Advance is running a year end 25% off sale now.

Thanks for all the input.

I decided to go with the Optima yellow. I recall that for a short period of time in mid-200x years there were some problems, but I guess they got their act together.
