Chris:

Another vote for DieHard Gold. Also, the battery compartment is quite large
(probably because 60's batteries had rubber cases and were generally
bulkier), and I always go for max. cold cranking amps. I chose a model that
would also fit in my full-size 1/2 ton and I trade batteries periodically to
prevent sulphation due to inaction in the Alpine.
