Hello everybody,
I know this topic has probably been brought up before, but I'm looking to replace the battery on my 545i and wanted to know which battery BRAND was the best. So far, I can only find Duralast batteries online, and I wanted to know if there was any other brand that someone can recommend. I live in Michigan so the winters get very cold, and I don't daily my 545i anymore so I'm looking for a tough battery that will last a while.

I use a solar panel (5 watts) wired to the boost attachments in the engine compartment. At least the battery is "tended" during the day (which is enough even for long periods) and there is nothing to plug in.
