Why so many battery threads

What can I say

 

Battery, oil and tire threads are all the same. No one really knows jack shit about them but they all know the best one is the one they have and use. And the reason it’s the best is because it’s the one they have or use. And after reading thousands of posts about batteries, oil and tires has anyone really learned anything? Anyone feel enlightened? It’s not Friday yet but anyone want to know what the best oil is? (Hint - it’s the one that I use.)

 

because they always die and cause a different variety of symptoms when dying and are sometimes difficult to find... So people talk about them.

 

Speaking of batteries, I just got a factory sealed Optima Redtop. Opened the box, horrible QC, covered in scuffs/scratches, clamp marks and grime on the terminals, only 80% charged. Factory Optima stickers are on top of the scuffs and scratches, so QC issue and not used. Looks like it was manufactured inside of a converted chicken coop. Got a refund, retailer told me to keep it. Won't buy Optima again.

 

You be some smart dude. I still workin on my first grade maph

 

Smart?
I’m the guy that left drain pan plug in in the oil drain pan.
Crawled out from under the truck to let oil drain. Came back outside to a driveway full of oil.

This plug. Remove it first……

 

Toooo beer faaair- tying together chemistry and rheology is above even the average chemical engineer. Hell, I have a rheometer at work with a controlled temperature cell (a long with a bench full of viscometers), and I still don't understand that crap. Therefore my oil is best because I say so.

Batteries have more tangible, easier to understand measurements and have standards of comparison, which makes them well within the grasp of the average DC nerd hobbyist. My battery is best because I say so, but I can at least describe why it works for my application.

 

Battery, octane and tire threads all week long. But only one "can't get this sticker off" thread.

 

No regerts

 

Some threads aren't easily replicated

 

You guys see the tire that was leaking some weird fluid?

 

That was calibrated ballast fluid, obviously. That guy's dog knows more about real off roading than he does.

 

Clearly

Do 3rd Genners eVeN oFf RoAd, BrO?

 

Thus is why...

 

humans in general, whatever they have or however they do it, is the best,,,,erest. Operating systems, driving habbits/styles, they way they bump uglies,,, you name it

 

Does sitting on the couch watching videos of “off-roading” count?

 

Dirt Every Day on Motor Trend TV has been cancelled. Not enough folks care when the Food Network has Halloween baking happening.

How long since that appendectomy? Should have used it as a baseline for a tat.

Simple. Those folk get a charge out of it.

 

I heard later the teacher was paid off to let me slide through.

Under the future no child left behind clause.

The plus side was driving to school in ninth grade.

 

Because apparently they suck and last for 2-3 years max.

My original is still good and it gets cold here up north.
