Default Battery suggestions

looking for the best battery, regardless of price, for my 2010 H3 Alpha. Want to use the factory case but willing to modify for fit. Only additional non factory options being powered is a trans cooler with dual fans, 2 engine cooling fans and supercharger coolant pump. Battery part numbers needed along with the suggestions.

Quality aftermarket Battery Terminal Connectors are more important than the battery itself.

Hey Bone, thanks for ALL of the HUMMER parts.

FYI:

An AGM Group 34 will fit in the stock battery box with slight modifications to the bottom of the battery box.

We decided to go with an AGM battery with higher CCAs, more reserve capacity and better equipped to deal with the physical OffRoad abuse plus winching and extra equipment (lights, CB, horns, amp, etc.). Better price than others with the same warranty and stats. Plus there are TONS of Autozone's around the US and Autozone will replace it no questions asked and your 3 years starts over again with a new receipt.

Autozone Platinum is made by Deka who is actually East Penn Manufacturing Inc. Yep Made in the USA!

Slight modifications to the bottom of the battery box is required. Dremel will do the job neatly.

I used to be an Optima fan, until I put a Red Top in a 70 Olds that turned out to be a leaker. Battery acid/gel leaking onto the tray and onto the inside fender & quarter panel of a 40+ year old classic pisses me off! Took hours to clean that up, prime and paint the damage done.

Used to run them in my last boat too.

No Optima Battery in my future, ever.
