Here is some information on what I think is one of the better battery suppliers.
I would suggest buying a Red Top from Coctco if you have one near you, they have about the best price at around $130.
I used a set of them in my 99 D2 as a dual set up for over 4 years and recently upgraded to the Yellow Tops because of my winch, Engle, HID and a resperator I use when camping.

Thanks for the reply Disco Mike.
Is this the general consensus.? The only reason I ask is because I have had problems with Optima Batteries before. I went through three of them in my race car so you can see why I could be a little nervous about buying from them again. But if they have been great for the Discovery then I could give it another shot.
By the way, they did exchange every dead battery for free under warranty no questions asked.

Optima has made a number of design changes over the last few years. I am a believer.
