Guest Redracerx Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Optima yes, but what do you want it for. They make the blue top, red top, and yellow top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohones Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I forgot in my original answer, I bought a "red top" for the vette & love it. The delco went when I had a short in drivers door? Damn lites on arm rest stayed on for days. Short now fixed, I always have plenty of electric power / just need more power now in the engine bay!!

Guest timmybgood Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 nevermind, its probably too small for a v8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraKevin Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Come to Sam's and pick up a battery. Better priced than most prices and you'll always get them for free after the first one pretty much. That's how gay Sam's is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I have an Optima Red top in my camaro... I started the car up for the first time in probably 6 months last night... and it fired right up... every year I've owned the car before this, starting it up after the winter the battery was always dead and wouldn't take a new charge.... from what I saw last night with that Optima, it's worth it's weight in gold... with that being said, I've also heard, if they go dead, it's hard to ever get them to recover. although it's proving hard to get them to die seeing how our winter sucked wanker and it was good to go when I started it last night... no trickle charge or anything... hell, I didn't even unhook the battery for the winter.

MrMeanGreen Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I had an Optima Red Top and killed it. Remember, never allow a dry cell to completely discharge as the cells can't handle it. They won't hold a decent charge worth a damn after that. Other than that, go for it. But them bastards are heavy. That's why I sold mine and picked up a Dynabatt. 10.8lbs, about the size of a textbook, has an amazing 225 CCA or something graemlins/thumb.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 ant who sells dynobatts? I need a bat for the shelby and if it does not sell I want a light small one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Elinar Longsight Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Jegs sells an off-brand of the Dynabatt if I recall correctly. They run about $100. <- Anthony on the laptop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
