Upgrading battery? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I've put a bunch of audio stuff in and have been running it for a while, and my factory battery could use a "break". I've had Optima yellow tops in the past with my other car stereos, and where pretty pleased with them, but I'm not sure if that battery will fit in our camaros. I have a 2014 Zl1. Please chime in if you have one and it fits ok, or any other battery reccomendations you may have.

Thanks

I've read that Optima battery's are not what they used to be since they moved

The Sears AGM battery has worked very well so far for me. Advanced Gold AGM Grp Size 94 800cca. I have this battery in Three different vehicles with no issues so far.

OPTIMA ARE STILL GOOD BUT he is right they are not as bad ass as they use to be but way better than a walmart or auto zone battery
