MY stock battery died yesterday... 3 years and 33k miles. One of the cells went bad. Went to Costco and bought a Red Top Optima for $99 (no exchange). If you have access to one, that seems to be the place to buy them. I also priced them at Advance Auto Supply at $110 with exchange.

Funny how the battery thread started on the other list and a few days later mine dies.

Not to be a butt, but I laughed when it was mentioned above:

"I have been told that since they are a more powerful battery that they will fry the other battery that is not as powerful. I was told this by a Jeep buddy that I like to mob with. I believe him, but I am not 100% sure."

- I thought, if it was that strong, what does it do to the vehicle it's installed in? - it also seems ironic that it came from a Jeep owner (don't ask my why - it just does).
