What battery should I use?
I have not changed my battery on my '05. I noticed that the startup takes a little bit more effort, and the AT shift seems slightly not as smooth (battery related?).

How many of you have changed the battery?

What brand's good?

What benefits do a good new battery bring other than a peace of mind for not starting up in the winter?

THANKS!

I say Diehard Gold. Best warranty out of any battery and is only $100 dollars.

That's funny!

Back to the battery, I bought a cheap Napa battery and have had no issues. My dad usually insists on Die Hard batteries, and he has had great luck with them over the years.

Wally World batteries have a 3-yr free replacement warrantee and are pretty inexpensive = about $70. They're made by Johnson Controls just like mostly every other brand you see. They've made a convert out of me ...
