dunno where you folks buy batteries but i've used local brands for years with little issue. their average lifespan for me has been bout 2 1/2 years. the only issue i ever got was bout 15 months into an 18 month warranty and ACL just replaced it without question and it went on to last 2+ years until i sold the car.

a good battery supposed to last much longer than 2+ yrs......
I have a foriegn bettery in a truck that has the year 2002 on it and It still have rel fire....

ACL go replace it without askin questions becuz they know their batteries are not well made and cannot last very long....

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.

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...

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...
