Best battery

[nedflanders]

Sorry if this has been flogged but search won't work on my phone! After 8 years faithful service it's time to renew the battery on my 90 td5. Although I winch I don't think I need dual battery's as I don't run anything like fridges, lights etc, I've got a decent set of battery's in the camper trailer for that. So best battery for a single set up with the odd winch duty.

Is it just the cold crank amps?

I recently bought a 100ah Repco wet cell for $150, which I thought was pretty good as it was about half the cost of an AGM of similar size. I just couldn't justify spending the extra money on a battery.

between blue and yellow, the blue has extra terminals.

Always used to say on breakdowns in the UK that a vehicles battery is the hardest working component in a vehicle, constantly charging/discharging in a range of temperatures and conditions and expected to turn an engine over and run a range of accessories, I always try and buy the best battery I possibly can.

Eevo,
Agree completely, the blue top makes things so much easier for connecting accessories, saves having heaps of connections on the terminals.

The blue Optima is made for marine applications well that is what I was told, slightly different build same capacity as the yellow top.
