Looking for a good battery on a budget.

[1996BLKBauer]

So basically my Interstate Megatron Plus is on it's last legs. I've had it now for 4 years now, and with the super cold winters, and hot summers we have had lately, its no longer holding up. So I want something new, Sure I could go out and buy another Megatron Plus for $130, or can I get something better for $150-$175? What have you guys used that has worked out? I drive my truck every day so it has to be reliable, I also have quite a lot of electrical draw on the battery at any given time, such as my 500watt amp, 6 off road lights, my CB, and other various small things. So what are my options?

My truck is a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition V8 AWD...

Thanks in advance!

XS Power D6500 - Gonna cost $300 but that's the price of an AGM for your vehicle.

Duralast platinum from autozone. It'll get the job done if it's just going under the hood in the stock location.

But FYI, a battery won't solve the problem of pulling more current than your alt can produce. But I don't think you are, I did just fine in my 97 explorer with much more demand for current than you do.

I have a kinetic 2400 for 3 years now and it works like a champ.... It wasn't too overly expensive.

call xs power for b-stock. I got my D6500 for 225 shipped.
