Battery went south..already

OK, before you go balistic, it was my fault. I had a Magellon nav plus an Escort 9100 i radar detector hooked up for 6 days without starting my 2008 V-10. I kept using the wifer's Lincoln LT. When I went to start my truck today, nothing. I had to do a quick charge for about 45 minutes before it would start. One thing about a diesel with 2 batteries, no worries in that same situation. I should have gotten the 2 battery setup. I might still get another battery or swap it. Who has the most bodatious battery alive for a replacement?

What you had in there from the factory was fine, but if you're looking for bodacious, Optima makes awesome batteries that will put a serious hurting on your wallet.
