Ok, you guys are driving me crazy with this wallmart battery stuff, would you goto kmart to buy a GOOD stero?? Go to an autoparts store for autoparts. Those 29.99 batterys are junk, they are usually remanufactured batterys.
You want to stick with a battery from a KNOWN company like JCI, JCI Makes OEM batterys for Motorcraft, Energizer (its not the Same Energizer you're thinking of) and OPTIMA
Optima is NOT a Gel Cell Battery, its called an Absorbed glass mat, where the Electrolyte is soaked into a glass mat, and then rolled up into the coils you see in the optima batterys. Just a Little FYI

It doesn't matter. If the battery fits, it'll work.

THis is not true even a Little BIT! (Wouldn't a Geo Metro Battery with 450CCA's fit into a Ford Excursion that requires at LEAST a 650 CCA Battery?!?) Just because it fits, does NOT mean it will work. If you take a battery that was reccommended for a Ford festiva, stick shift, no A/C and put it into a Caddillac with power everything, Load leveling suspension and a Navagation system, what do you thing would happen?
I am a Manager of a Parts Department and I See this all the time, where somone dosent want to spend an extra 20 dollars for a good battery, and we see them back the first time we get a few days of below freezing weather.
Im not trying to say everyone here is wrong (well yes, i am) but I see the same story every single day and this is how it goes...
" Want the cheapest battery i can get for a....(pick a car)."
So spend a little extra money on your car, i mean, Dosent it take you to work/school/Over to your girlfriends house
, would hate to see any of you miss an oppertunity like that!
