Look at brands like Optima and Odessey. It is much better to upgrade the battery then to add a cap.

I looked into these batteries a few months back.
And I wouldnt touch them.

Yes they have uber cranking power, but they have no stamina.
A decent stereo would drain them flat in under half an hour without the car running.

I'd stick to a normal style battery, get something 450+CCA

They have an uber CCA rating however they are also deep cycle batteries that can be run flat and left flat with minimal damage. The Optima one that I have has a 50Ah rating which is far superior to any normal battery.

Having said all that... Unless you are using them to run an inverter with the risk of flattening them totally(I run my ventilator at night when I go camping from my Optima), the extra cost is probably not worth it. They are better though.
