Default Optima Blue Tops

Ok, I've been waiting to get a new battery for a while now and over the weekend I went to a Costco with a fellow NCLR member. He pointed out the Optima D34M Blue Top he has in is '04 D2. That was the only Optima I saw there and it was $160 if I remember correctly. The only "extra" draw on the battery in my vehicle is an iPod and the Cobra 75 WXST cb for now. I know, not a lot at all. Sometime this summer I will more than likely add a couple IPF's or Hella's to the front brushguard and eventually (like a year or so) add a winch after the RTE bumper is purchased. This might be overkill for now but is it worth the price? I'd like to think it is. Plus the second set of terminals makes me want to add an extra fuse box to wire the iPod, cb, lights and GPS (when that is replaced).

A Blue top is a little over kill, especially when you have no heavy draw on it.
This of course is you decision, but a Red Top would be more then adequate. I run 2 Yellow Tops but I have an Engle, HID lights and a winch that likes lots of amps.
