Interstate is pretty good, especially for SLA.

I'm on 18 months for my Northstar and Matt's is even longer lol.

I had an Optima Yellow Top that survived a crash draining one of the cylinders and it ran perfect after that for another 2 years. This was in 2003, though. Apparently, they moved manufacturing to a foreign location and their quality took a massive hit.

 

Here’s the fuse

I'm too autistic to be lazy

 

No problem, the yellow is designed to be run down & recharged more often like marine application but has less CCA the red has the higher CCA for the higher draw when starting---I use yellow in my boat & Suburban that sit & red in daily drivers

 

$70

 

I need a second job to keep up with everyones cool stuff.

 

Yeah I got 5 years out of an Optima red top. Not worth spending the money for me since I get the same out of a Duralast Gold and they honor the warranty on the spot. When my Optima went out they said you’re going to have to contact them directly. Apparently they weren’t reimbursing their dealers for warranty claims so most around here dropped them or won’t deal with warranty issues.

 

Makes more sense this way, thanks!

 

Oh my gosh, so true.

 

I've heard that about Optima.
I was really disappointed with the Northstar. I know they're a quality battery. But I had the group 31 and it was extremely heavy. Took every ounce of strength to put it in place.

 

I have the same fuse. I budgeted for it lol

I might be one or two of those.

 

I'll be trading my 27F Northstar for a 31 Northstar.

Soon

 

i was far left and far right

 

I can be any of those depending on the day...

 

I know I sure won’t be buying any AGM batteries from here on out since I’ll have to buy 2 at a time.


Nope. Be $300+ for regular ones.


I really doubt there’s many that beat their DD enough to really need a AGM battery.

 

Same.

 

Same

I'm considering a second AGM.

 

I may would consider one for up north but not in the heat down here. Just kills them. Plus the cost of changing the alt output.
