Battery Suggestions? Stock battery is a POS for sure. It died and gone, need a new one ASAP. Looking for cheap and cost effective, battery got a system too. Looking at Costco's Kirkland or Duralast Gold?

Kirkland's are well-rated by Consumer Reports. I put one in my daughter's Camry a month or so ago. I figure to put one in the Ram when the time comes (it's at 7 years and 104K).

Just remember - they don't install 'em. So if you're gonna do that, take 'em the old battery when you go get the new one. Otherwise, it's two trips. The Camry's battery died on the coldest, windiest night I'd seen for a while (omg)

How big of a stereo system do you have? ie how many watts? Cuz if it is a serious audio system, I'm not sure if a Kirkland is gonna cut it.

A Kirkland would be just fine
