        I have a good 'ol Sears Die Hard battery and I think they are great! It
's been in my car for a long time and still works great.  No problems so far!
I've left lights and the radio going for long lengths of times as well.

        If you don't mind spending a little more, I would suggest the Optima ba
ttery!  They are sold through various mail order sources (maybee direct) and sa
w an ad for it in EC.  The local high-end car audio shop sells them here.  They
are a little different than your normal battery and have no fluid in them, just
coils.  I don't really understand how it works, but I understand that it does.
It is supposedly stronger, more dependable, and last longer than any other conv
entional battery.  And they are garunteed for 10 years!  A friend of mine bough
t one for his 5ktq and it was a little too big for the factory location under t
he back seat.  The was concerned, but then he figured out that it would fit per
fectly if he layded it on it's side!  No problems!  He spoke very highly of thi
s battery.
