What type of battery?

I'm looking at putting in a Optima battery in. I'm wondering if anyone uses them and what type. I've seen the 35 series? Optima says DT75 and I've seen picks with the 34?

Thanks

John

I'm not sure of the series, but I've been using an Optima red-top in my Fiesta and it is GREAT. My alternator completely died recently, and the car ran for three full days on the Optima's charge alone. Pretty damn good recommendation.

I have the yellow top Optima.

Alternator was dead, drove 400 miles and the car started up in the morning.

Awesome.
