How many of you have switched out your OEM batteries with aftermarket ones? I'm thinking of putting in an Optima red top. Also, granted that I know jack about batteries, how the heck do you read the labels? I tried looking for the batteries with the same specs but no luck. Can I get something that relatively close to it? Also, what spec can I get close to it? I know it has to be 12V and 120RC but what about the CCA? On the C70 it's 600CCA, but I can't find a red top with the number. TIA.

My battery works, but 1hr of playing the radio yesterday drained it enough so that my car wouldn't crank and I had to jump start it. I finally bought a set of jumper cables today, just in case.
try interstate MB6660 That is one of the best batteries to get..Works nice on the volvos...The cost is around $120.00
