Wasn't really sure where to ask this, but figured there's more traffic here than the 12V forum.
The battery on my 96 4Runner is in need of a replacement. I had always planned on getting a Diehard Platinum but it looks like they're discontinued now. I'm leaning toward an Optima red top, as I've had two in the last 5-6 years with no issues (though I am aware of the more recent Optima issues).
Short of shelling out the $250+ for an Odyssey (which really is overkill for my mostly stock rig), what else should I be looking at? I did a lot of searching around online but most threads are from 4+ years ago or before the Odyssey/Diehard deal went south.
