    Miata battery.

    So it seems my battery is slowly losing its charge, so I figured it was time to start looking for a new battery. I am pretty sure I have a Westco battery if I remember correctly.

    I was wondering what you guys are running out there and where you bought it from. Thanks!

    I'm using a Marathon after going through like 3 Westcos. All my fault, forgetting to put it on trickle and not starting the car for months. I haven't noticed a difference between the two yet.

    I also use the O'Reilly/Autozone/Advanced Auto "Miata" batteries with no issue. I tried a Westco once, I deep cycled it twice in two weeks and killed it. I was pretty pissed about that. The one I bought at the autoparts store was identical to it, cheaper even, so I moved on. I know Stevan (Rogue) swears by the sealed MAT(?) batteries though.
