Battery Recommendations?

[Venom 1000TT]

I think it's finally time to replace my original battery in my 96 GTS Coupe. Does anyone have any recommendations what kind & where to buy the best? I am running some necessary accessories such as a Valentine 1, two bottle heaters for the NOS bottle....
the usual. Any input would be appreciated.

I kept it stock since mine is easy to remove. But I think that there was a post a while back stating that Optima batteries don't fit well in the driver's rear wheelwell. Do the research for the topic.

Why not replace it with the original Mopar battery? You don't have to worry about Optima Part #s and you know it will fit. Yours lasted 5 years.

Id get an optima just so I could mount it upsidedown. For no reason, really, just because I could.

But he is right. Just but an OEM battery in it. May as well.b

I went with the Optima Red Top and have been very happy. Measure the opening though, just to ensure that it will fit correctly!!
