I'm wanting to upgrade to a AGM battery. I've decided on a Group 27F. Now my problem. I know Northstar and Odyssey whoop Optima in every way. However no one in my area carries Northstar (Batteries plus is over a hour away) and Odyssey seem to be out of stock everywhere. I got 3 auto parts stores that can get the Optimas next day. The most we do at this point is some weekend camping. Nothing crazy. So am I handicapping myself going with the Optima yellow top D27F.

Full River battery (Full Throttle) would be a good choice to consider as well. I've run that same Northstar group 27 you're wanting in my taco. Solid performance. Might be worth a drive.

I would just make the trip to batteries plus. Mine isn't as far but after searching high and low for a good 27F they seemed to be the final option. I don't know if Odyssey even makes them. Everywhere I went didn't list one. I'm an interstate dealer at work and they don't carry an AGM either.
