what kind of battery are you using?
I'm doing a little battery shopping and wanted to find out what kind of battery you all are using? I have a 92 SC300 and Sears told me I need either the Die Hard International battery $99.99 or the Die Hard Optima battery $129.99. Both are pricey but I wanted to see what everyone else is using. Currently I have an Interstate battery in there. Thanks.

George, I put in "battery" and "batteries" in search and came up with a bunch of stuff I didn't want to read and didn't need to know. Any suggestions on what to put in the search field? I'm just a gatherer of info like the rest of us...thanks for replying and trying to help, I appreciate it.

If you just put in "battery", of course you'll get too much to process.
If you wanna know who is using Die Hards, include that in your search.
George is right- there are as many opinions as there are brands. Like here, for example:

Go with the Optima- it's worth the price. If you know someone near a military base, they can usually be ordered at the auto parts section of the shopette for cheaper than retail and no tax.

Oh well, I wish I knew I could get the Optima's from an army base. But no worries gents, I went to Sears and just dropped $118 for a Die Hard International. They had Optima's there too but the guy said it'd be overkill since I'm no running, nor do I plan to have, a huge sound/entertainment system in my car. Seems to have fixed my "ghost" problem though so that's good. I actually wanted a Die Hard Gols because it was slightly cheaper but they didn't have the bigger sized battery that I wanted and I never undercut any maintenance on my car so I just went with the pricier one. Thanks for all the replies though, I'm learning slowly but surely.

It is interesting that the recent Consumer Report test shows the lower priced Weatherhandler is better than the Gold.

In any case gs400998, I hope your Gold battery will live up to its expectations. Then again, DieHard is an excellent choice for battery replacement
