Braille or Optima?
Okay I can't beleive the size of giant pig of a battery MB puts in their cars! The thing is larger than the two marine batteries in my boat...So I haver read a bunch of threads and it seems like there are two ways to go either Braille/Deka or Optima Yellow top.
Deka are cheaper but dont have auto post terminals, is there a way to change this?
Braille seems easy was going to go with the 21lb B3121. Is the aluminum mounting kit necesarry or is the $15 rubber one sufficient?
Optima love them for my off road vehicles and they take the AZ heat better than anything I have ever stuffed in a car. Still 40lbs but is it a safer option to not get stuck somewhere long term?

Odyssey and Kinetik batteries would be my choice....
Light weight and a lot of CCA.
You'll need the cranking amps our cars need a lot of juice.
