San Diego BS Thread.

Yeah that's my thought

 

hes alive!

 

Hey been lookin at the diehard platinum. Not sure which one is the best see a size 65 but the terminals are wrong. Does anyone know which one we need for our trucks

 

Thanks again for the suggestions. We were able to book a site at San Onofre right by a trail leading down to the beach. Good times.

 

I have a group 35 and it fits in the stock placement.

If you are going to get the Pelfrybilt tiedown it uses the group 31.

 

I run a yellow top optima in my truck for the last 3 years and had a red top for 2 before that the only reason I upgraded was I planned to run a lot more accessories., I run a new interstate battery in my acura.

I had bad luck in the past with sears batteries so I switched to optimas with great success, have not had an issue in nearly 10 years.

 

Ever since they switched the manufacturing to Mexico on the Optimas they are not the same battery they were before. I used to run the red top in my TL but after it died in 2 years the replacement only lasted 9 months. The Diehard Platinum has a great warranty, so if there is an issue it will get replaced without an ordeal. 4 year replacement and 4 year prorate after that. I've been using my group 35 for 5 years now and still cranking with tons hooked up to it.

 

My factory Toyota battery has gone bad around 3 years old (on all three of my Tacomas), and every time I just went to Batteries Plus store, got the replacement they suggested, and that was the last battery I bought. My 2010 I am keeping longer than my '01 or '05 leased Tacomas, so we shall see how long the Batteries Plus unit lives.

 

Doing an ocotillo wells night run this Friday at 9pm

 

You going to make it john?

 

Naw man no money dood gotta get the bronco registered and shit I'm out of off roading for a couple months

 

Thanks for the info. Sears has discontinued the diehard platinum group 35 for sure. They are replacing it with a less than inferior product. It went from 850 ccas to 680 3 year warranty rather than 4 and reserve is in half. Just an FYI before you spend hours looking for one and to find out they are no longer carrying them.

 

Look at interstate, they have a shop in miramar area.

 

Nice! So when's the party on the beach?

 

As far as batteries go, come to Escondido to get the best prices and warranties from American Battery Supply.

 

I went with a Diehard platinum 34/78 in a ruff stuff bat box and had American Battery Supply extend my pos cable by like 10". They did killer work for like 20 bucks I think. Had to modify the box a little bit to work with the stock tie down bolts.....

 

Damn wish you told me that sooner. Just bought a sealed jet ski battery this week

 

Ditto on that, good people there that actually know about batteries, they never try to upsell you there, they get you exactly what you need

 

F you I want a jet ski (stand up). Anyways you can always return it and say you found a better deal... Sometimes those are where you find good lifetime warranties, on paper of course.
