Battery replacement?

[NIck Miller]

An AGM battery is always a good option.  Not just for size, but
longevity.  A lot of times it will be the last battery you buy.  My
miatas aqueous glass mat battery is 6yrs old and just now getting
tired after two tough north dakota winters and a lot of harsh LA and
san diego driving.  They are more expensive, like 130 or so,  but more
than worth it.

Some optimas are agm,  or westco batteries, braille,  etc make them.

In retrospect,  I went through a battery a year in my v8 using
conventional ones and it cost me more than one of these would have
