The stock battery in my 2010 is starting to go... the red dot is showing in the bottom of the sight glass... what battery should I go with... keep in mind I would like to have the side ports of the battery to add accessories down the road

 

Depending on how and where you drive I've used NAPA Gold batteries for years with very good results. If your going to travel a lot get an Interstate Battery. They have service all over the country.

 

I live near Niagara falls NY temps get down to -10 some times during the winter... I only use the truck during the winter and in the summer I'm on my bike 99% of the time... I only drive the truck back and forth to work about 25 miles round trip... Don't really use it much other then that... Yet I just picked up the truck last week

 

Whatever Battery you decide to go with...ensure you get enough CCA for those freezing mornings...

 

Consumer Reports rates batteries - and the ratings change over time - Diehard used to be the best many years ago and no longer are.

The warranties change over time also. Walmart's EverStart Maxx, often a top rated battery, also has one of the best warranties in the business - 3 years of free replacement, and then two additional years of prorated replacement. They also seem to be price competitive every time I've used them.

Make sure you review the types listed, some of them have a lesser warranty.

 

I like Interstate meself. Very good service with them.

 

I'll chime in for the WallyWorld batteries. I have one in my Kubota compact tractor, probably the worst environment a battery can live in. Long periods of sitting, large draw from preheaters and hard cranking diesel in cold temps. Vibration and banging around from the loader. First one lasted 6 years under these conditions. And WallyWorld is everywhere!

 

Another vote for Interstate

 

Always close to 1000 cca or more. I didnt worry this past winter i get the best advanced auto offers since batterys today are roughly the same. Im anti walmart they dont stand for a good place. I would use orielys but its a drive

 

I ended up getting a red top OptIma so far no problems
