    bestest warranty you can find.

    that is all.

    unless you're crazy and run the sound system with the car off.

    then get a spiral cell battery with the bestest warranty you can find.

    Also moved.

    If the car is on, the battery doesnt contribute to the power output.

    Do you have a relay for your HID's?

    Id be looking into a new alternator too. I had to up the amps on mine when I had 3 12" w3's in my old Blaze. A powercell wouldnt hurt either with all that it will keep things consistant too. It may cost a little more really not a ton tho these days but it will be sooooo worth it. I know not a battery answer but will help you from going through batteries or burning up alternators faster. I went through a few of those the first few years.

    I bought an interstate for my car recently, I think I got it at sans club, there or Costco.. Whichever one sells the interstate batteries. I was going to get an optima, but read about too many people having issues with them and passed, they cost more anyway.
    My ac delco stock battery lasted from sept of 00 to sept of 10, so ten years(110k miles).
    I'm running hid's in lows and fogs, and running a 1000w amp with two 12's, 200w headunit, and a 200w amp to my speakers with no problems. Can even play music in my car for a while and have no starting issues.
