Find what size you can put in your car by using a type messure. And then go on to web sites and find one you like. It seams most people like Optima, Stinger or the Excide Gell Batteries. hope this helps.

Whats up man,

If you have a little room on the side of your battery you will be able to fit a stinger 1700. It would probably perform a little better, more CCA's and a higher maximum discharge.

Whats up,

I did some more looking and seen the following:

Stinger 1700
CCA - 1200a
Max Discharge - 1700a

SVR 100-12
CCA - 1100a
Max Discharge - 3550a

These batteries are a little bigger than your optima but if you have lil extra room you'll be good. If not they have smaller ones.

Optima also has a new yellow top too. Its a lil better than the regular one, smaller too.

that stinger 1700 is like 17" wide. Vary few cars have room for that large of a batt in the stock location. And the yellow top can be charged up to 15 volts. I like the new stinger ones my self. But That optima you have should be fine with.
