What car battery to buy for my car stereo?
A car battery is required to start the engine of the car. It is essential to select the right kind of battery for your car. The car battery is required to stabilize power; provide extra power for the functions of igniting, lighting and other accessories. It is needed to carry the extra load when the engine is idling.
Some points to note when buying a new car battery are- the make of the car, the engine specifications of your car, and the intended usage and type of usage of your car. If you are driving your car in a cold climate then one needs a battery with higher Cold Cranking Amps [CCA] rating. The CCA rankings must meet and ideally exceed the car’s OEM cranking requirements. The Cranking Performance Amps [CA] are also a measure to decide your choice of battery. Climatic conditions, either hot or cold are a deciding factor in selecting the right car battery. The Reserve Capacity [RC rating is the second most important point to consider. RC is the number of times that a fully discharged battery at 80 degrees F can be discharged at 25 amps until the voltage falls below 10.5 volts. The more the RC your battery has the better for your car. This is because one might have to carry a greater parasitic load without earlier planning or in emergencies. Factors like size, freshness and warranty are also key elements in the buying decision. A good battery adds punch to your car.

I'd have to agree with you there. The company name is probably the main thing most people look at while buying anything-more so for technology devices..which battery do you go for btw dmahay ?
