Mine is an OEM replacement put in 6 months before I got it, so it's going on 2 1/2 years. It sat a lot before I got it, it sits a lot now - not a problem.

 

Northstar AGM 27F

I've been running it for a couple months, about 7k miles and zero problems. Hell, the truck starts easier than it use to, had no problem keeping my fridge going and my lights are a little brighter.

 

Dagum I would hope not

 

Oh, have the alternator checked. My OEM HD was replaced too before I got the truck.

 

Will y’all keep an eye out for a white or black camper shell for el Tundy? It’s a double cab (half back) standard bed, shell has to be pre facelift (‘07 to ’13)

 

I’ve been having a string of bad luck recently.

 

My optima is 4 years old now, charging system is good. Just started to hesitate on startup and it is smelling like rotten eggs. Definitely a bad battery. I plan on putting a winch on eventually and want to have enough power for it or space for a dual setup.

 

Have you also verified voltage is not to high? Rotten egg smell... ran Into that at work once when we cooked some backup batteries when the voltage spiked.

 

I used to run an Optima yellow top in a Z28 I had, never had any issues but that was 10 years ago. I had heard that quality had been declining back then tho.

 

It’s good, just a crap battery

 

Any thoughts on lithium ion batteries?

 

Isn't that "pre" sames as a 2'nd gen Taco?

 

I hear good things. The Aussies and rich overlander guys are starting to use them. I don't know how good they are for starting, though.

 

Never knew they made Lith/Ion batteries for cars, that’s a new one on me.

 

Only if you like to light up the sky! Would not trust them for truck abuse!

 

Are they made by Samsung?

 

I like "early adapting" when I have a faith....I don;t have that faith for this application. Let someone prove it first! Better battery? Can be. Every application? Not yet....

 

They've been used in vehicles for 3 years or so now, cell phones and tablets for over a decade.

 

With only periodic fires in each. Not sure I would put one in a truck like you and @Nopro use them!

 

That's on models with manufacturing faults, anybody remember early year Fieros?
