What is the the best most powerful Battery ?

Time to replace my Battery, I have had it for 4 years. It is an Exide and I have been very happy with it. I have 800 watts of JL Audio Amps running in my car and was leaning torwards Exide. I know the Costco Battery is the same manufacturer as the the Diehard. Any input guys ?

That Interstate battery is same one I put into a W126 300SD.

By the way Johnson Controls makes Die Hard for Sears, owns the Optima brand, makes the EverStart MAXX brand for Wal-Mart, as well as batteries for the aforementioned Costco and for Autozone and Interstate.

Get the Optima (Yellow Top). I run them in all of my cars once they factory one dies. I also run them in my tractors, and they are indestructible and long lasting.
