Battery dead , what battery you all recommend?

[southtxSHO]

Do you know why it died? 4 year old battery should not be dead unless abused. (drained repeatedly, improper charging etc.)

I was running an Optima Red top in my Subaru that never even hinted at failure even in -40c weather. And that was running extra gauges, upgraded fuel pump, water pump for my AWIC and HID kits. Depending on where you are maybe a yellow top will do you?

Where I live in Florida (Tampa). I haven't had a battery last more than 2-3 years. The heat kills them fast.

I'm glad somebody said this, becasue I've had the same experience in Texas. No matter what I buy, I get about 3 years out of them before they go kaput and drop a cell.

Ha, interestingly, I've already replaced the battery in my 13 SHO too.

For you guys driving around in the high heat with the A/C on. I was getting abnormal KR events with the A/C on while normal driving. Anyone in the heat monitoring with same results?

Same thing happened to me about a month ago, got up one morning and barely started.  Did the same thing at work when I tried leaving, took it straight to the quick lane at the dealer and they had to jump start it to get it out of the bay.  They tested it and it failed, so I got a brand new one under warranty.  Feel pretty lucky.
