jojodeci
I need a new battery and want a stronger one then the oem battery

any suggestions?

i know sears offer the diehard battery but dont know if its much stronger then the stock one?

Stainless
What do you mean stronger? More cold cranking amps? More capacity?

Go to Rocky's Battery, tell them you want teh biggest meanest thing that'll fit in your car... he got one 300cca higher than the stock one for my wife's car.

whats wrong with the size of the battery in there?
Take measurements of your battery and identify the location of the battery posts and go to any parts dealer and ask for a bigger battery. Length x width x height, top post vs side post, ect.

SilverNeonRacer
most times you can get a higher cca/reserve time in the same size group, like a 26R(Neon) stock is 450, as I said Rocky's got me a 750, same size, same everything.. just more oomph

sweet thx rocky's battery it is!

SilverNeonRacer
if you can get a coil cell in your battery size group they're even better yet.. CT has more physical sizes available.. but talk to Rocky's first they have optimas, and might have one that'll fit.

Costco has Optimas as well. I just picked up an Exide Purple Haze at CT, which is for all intents and purposes an Optima yellow top from what I'm told.

optima red tops arnt bad. i got a buddy runnning a 4000watt stereo, and a crappy alternator and it really cut down the dimming of the headlights.
