What's the best battery for a 1995 Aurora? I live in Vegas and the car runs fine until temps reach 100 then the battery amps go down when the AC is on, I need to be able to run the AC because I'm a delivery driver and I sweat too much without the AC and I get home exhausted.

More likely alternator or related charging system issue (bad grounds, slipping serpentine belt, thermistor, etc.).
FWIW, I think the OEM battery for the first gens was a Delco Group 79...

Any parts store battery should be okay. A lot of times they are even the same battery with different packaging. Sounds like you may have issues like tigger said, serpentine belt or thermistor.

Batteries are only used for starting or with ignition off If you've got issues with what seems to be electrical, while the vehicle is running, just make sure you're showing at least 12 volts with the engine idling, under load, everything on, headlights, air conditioning, brake lights, backup lights... If it gets below 10 you've probably got a regulator problem in your alternator, or a bad ground somewhere. When you're idling you're using alternator power, not battery power.
