I like the NAPA GOLD brand. Braille batteries are good as well.

Get the yellow Optima if U live in Desert like conditions they are the best with high temps. High temps just eat up conventional batteries and seriously shorten their lives. They start going dead way early. It can be like an oven under the hood when the desert sun shines down.
