My battery is the original and I was thinking about purchasing a new one before the inevitable happens.
Any suggestions? Where is the best place to buy a battery? Can I have one shipped to my door?

Sounds like I should get in the zone. Autozone. ;D Yeah I think I would rather buy one in a store and not have it shipped.

Ya I got my red top optima about five years ago at a local stereo shop that has since gone out of business for the steal of $115, I guess thats why they went out of business  well not really, got bought out by best buy. also the interstate battery one is great from what I heard. Try to avoid a Deep cycle battery as you main battery. It was not designed for daily driving use. you will be dissapointed. |

So later on if I decide to get a winch (not that I would ever need it)  could I add a deep cycle battery and run it with the regular battery. |

Said in a soothing calm voice"first you disconnect battery terminal, the one with the black cable, if isn't black, the cable that is it is the one w/a negative sign (that is the oppostie of positive) then you will have to blah, blah blah! ;D
