I don't drive that much, that is why it died.

is there a battery that will keep the charge for a long time? I live in Queens, NY & I park in an open air car port.

i read "optima yellowtop" is good, which model would be good for my car?

also i took the battery out of the car. will this damage the car if does not have a battery installed?

I'm not knowledgeable about these things. i would appreciate your help.


thanks in advance.

Unless you are running some really heavy duty electronics like a half-dozen zillion-watt amps pushing 24-in woofers, you can probably get away with an Optima Red top. The Red top costs a little less and has a 3-year warranty vs. a 1-year for the Yellow top.

The advantage of the Yellow top is it puts out a lot more amps than the Red, but if your Corolla is just your basic transportation, the Red should do you fine.
