Battery Recommendations...
Looking for battery recommendations for my 993. Drive it on the weekends mostly. Curious what people are using.

Caution when using a pc925. The cold cranking amps and amp-hour ratings are substantially lower than the factory battery. A trickle charger is highly recommended, not to mention the additional mounting hardware.
The correct batteries at your local sears/autozone are all essentially the same. Pick the one with the best price and warranty.

Best search on Optima; more recent reports are not as good as one would like.

I have an optima yellow top with no problems. In fact, it fixed my stalling.

I have an Interstate MTP-91 in mine. When I drive weekly it does not need a trickle charger. Make sure to connect your battery vent tube.
