hoss take it from me ....ROCKET all the way bro .....always they had a high reputation for auto batteries.I had a rocket battery in my old b11 (one of the blue tops 13plate) and that lasted ah wopping 12 years and was wucking relly good up to the day the stokle the car .. Sad

now I am running a 13plate 800cranking amps battery 2 years now and if bought from laughlin you can go every month for them to make sure your battery is good .....most of the time batteries seems to go dead is when yh acid breaks down. this however can be acided and will work for longer but when yh get y battery try and case it and protect from engine heat and debres. your battery will serve you for a long period . Rocket is a bit expensive but worth every cent. If you can't afford or get a rocket go for powermaster on time ..its a good brand too..!! Mr. Green

HOw much so for the bigger - like - "13-plate" batteries - 700+ CA -now - average? About $1000 - 1100? I paid ~$1700 for a D34 Optima yellow top battery at Sham's in San Juan - going in 18 mths now. No mtce at all. It run flat the other day - charge up with a lil household batt charger - and I on as normal. Supposedly men say they lasting up to 5 yrs...

For a few hundred more - you may want to consider it...although they don't come with a warranty. If you interested - do a search - it's been discussed here before.

Optima deep cycle marine batteries fo me thanks

buy a deep cycle battery, like the Optima Red Top starting battery...

http://www.optimabatteries.com/optima_products/redtop/index.php

lead acid batteries is a thing of the past.. there are newer and better technology batteries out there..

quote Optima:
Strongest 5 second starting burst
Up to 2x longer life
More than 15x the vibration resistance
Completely spill-proof, mountable in many positions
Maintenance free
Faster recharging capabilities
Optimal starting power, regardless of temperature

alot of car audio shops have them because of their high power potentials...

Optima FTW!

Can the Optima be exposed to hight heat in the engine bay?
IMO AC Delco and rocket are very good batteries i've used both in cars that are only used on weekends and no problems for two years.

Optima run things ... but there is one big but ... Optimas dont like to get an overcharge so make sure your charging system is working properly otherwise your optima wont last.

Lean Wid IT you should have bought an AC Delco or a Rocket....the Turbo may last you a lil while but you would have gotten a longer lifespan from the Rocket and AC Delco...is your choice yes....BTW them "local" batteries are NOT made in Trinidad....they are imported from somewhere i dunno and they just put ah set ah dam stickers on it....but there is a battery man that I know who opens up the "local" batteries and says they are cheaply made....they not even made to last any long period of time...even if your charging system is perfect...

The man done buy his battery but trust me, I saw conventional batteries selling for about $900-$1200 and the maintenance free were more for my application. So I just put the extra and bought a Dry Cell.

I used Dry Cells in the past from Optima and I got over 5 years of service on 3 different batteries. I also had good experience with the Stinger SPV35 as a starting battery and currently I have a Kinetic in another car. Out of all the Optima Red Top was the only one that could take heat- all the others are meant for the boot area.

25 miles out in the ocean you need a battery that will work first time every time cose you cant get out and push it

Optima has been in my boat for 4 years now and its never failed

M-Tech · Posted: Sun Jun 28, 2009 7:25 am Post subject:

Tired Accord, I've had a couple yellow top Optima's swell to the top under heat but they cool down back to normal. They never failed me once for many years though. The Kinetic swells to the sides. I guess they are sealed and can't "breathe" as normal batteries that have holes on top.

Just keep the dry cells cool and the years they would last would more than offset the cost of buying it opposed to buying a few normal batteries like Rocket or whatever they have these days.

Dont buy until you check out the MotoCraft car batteries sold by Mc Enearny............. 3 year warranty 13plate cost about $1000.00 vi Wink
