Default Battery question.

Hi guys,

My battery must have leaked. My battery tray got all rusted out. Thank god nothing else was touched. I am thinking of getting an aftermarket battery, battery tray and battery tie down to make it look neater. Any suggestions of where I can get some? I live in Suffolk NY. It would be help if it is local. Please share some pictures if you have any. Thank you so much for your help.

I use a optima yellow top on my S.

Stock battery (1 year old) could not handle my sound system and electronics.

Yellow top fixed that problem.

Had the yellow top for about 2 1/2 years now. Hopefully it holds up.

Save the $$, neutralize the acid, wire brush the OEM stuff and repaint it.

I went throught this in January. Replaced my 2nd OEM and went with a Sears Diehard. I'm getting close to three years on a OEM battery.
