Battery Replacement WTB
 

Whats a good replacement battery to replace the factory one? The battery is on its last leg. Wanted to get something different since all the other ones I've seen from Advance Auto, O'Reilly's, Autozone have a higher CCA. I will be replacing the battery in a few days. Any suggestions?

-Thanks

Optima N9935RED is a good replacement battery; about 150$ here...or look it up on summitracing.com/ they may have it cheaper.
(this is an AGM Battery) so should go at least 5 years-seen some go as long as 10.

ive had excellent luck with Walmart batteries in my vehicles, i dont let them touch my cars though:tup:

I'm all about the Optima!

Costco has sold the Optima batteries before. Check them out.

I don't think anymore


Personally I went with an Optima Yellow, Amazon has them at a good enough price and I went with a yellow top that's bigger than recommended, but still smaller than the OEM battery. So more CCA than the red top. Set me back like $200~

Get the Costco battery. Around 70 bucks and takes about 30 minutes to change.

Got an Energizer from Sam's Club...wanna say it was about $150. Had it for two years with no issues.

As long as the battery will physically fit in the hole and has enough CCA, you will be OK. Nothing wrong with having more CCA than specs call for (but, as a rule-of-thumb, more CCA = more weight).

I literally just bought a brand spanking new Optima Yellow top for $158:eek::eek::eek: out the door PLUS free shipping on eBay about a week ago, I could NOT pass up the price it was the absolute lowest price I found online.

** I will say this, the optima yellow top, is approximately 30% smaller than the oem battery..

Most optimas are smaller. I'm glad I didn't buy mine through eBay because in case you need to warranty it, eBay doesn't work. The warranty process through Amazon/Optima wasn't as easy as going to Costco, but it wasn't that bad either

ahh yeah, I wasn't even thinking of that... I'll have to take my chances.

You should be ok, I've owned like 5-6 over the years, only 1 died prematurely. I've had more regular lead acid batteries die though

Yeah, they make great batteries, and it looks sexy as fvck in the Z...

Hi,

When you say you got one that's bigger than recommended, which model # would that be?

Optima's site recommends the 8040-218 D35 YELLOWTOP for the Z.

Thanks
