: Battery choices!!!!!!!! AAAA!!!!!!! pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 07:29 AM I don't know if I should get the DuraLast bat. for $75, or the Optima 6-pack for $110. The Optima is dry-cell, and is 15 times vibration resistant. But the DuraLast has 10 more hot cranking amps. I'm also slapping a 383 in my Elky. And then I might get a sound system. Make it nice and hidden, and not cut anything. What should I buy?!?! RedElky 02-23-2004, 07:32 AM the optima is worth the money. Excellent reliability. pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 07:34 AM Ya, it seems like it. But the warranty on it is only 3 years. AnthonyGonsalves 02-23-2004, 07:37 AM Optima, it just sounds better pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 07:39 AM They look better, too. AnthonyGonsalves 02-23-2004, 07:41 AM Battries that look better?? What is it all chrome? pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 07:45 AM It looks like a 6-pack of BEER!! I think we all (or most) of us will agree that it looks better than a plastic box. AnthonyGonsalves 02-23-2004, 07:47 AM Guniess or Miller camino81 02-23-2004, 07:51 AM no chrome, but you can get 'em with either a pretty red, yellow, or blue top. pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 07:53 AM no chrome, but you can get 'em with either a pretty red, yellow, or blue top. They should come with a chrome top. To the patent office! AnthonyGonsalves 02-23-2004, 07:54 AM no chrome, but you can get 'em with either a pretty red, yellow, or blue top. They should come with a chrome top. To the patent office! Id go with blue, patents suck. 87SS 02-23-2004, 08:46 AM Id go with blue. Blue tops are for marine use only... Check with your local interstate battery store. They have reconditioned red & yellow tops for about half retail and they have a full warranty too! AnthonyGonsalves 02-23-2004, 01:21 PM Id go with blue. Blue tops are for marine use only... That mean you cant get them? Illegal? So what if it is, still would look cool pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 01:48 PM Next time I see one of these, interstate battery stores, I'll stop and check it out. Thanks. gmc caballero 02-23-2004, 02:07 PM Personnally, I would invest in a hi torque mini starter to take care of the heat soak problem with a full size starter especially if your gonna run headers. You can put in a real good batt in but if the starter gets too hot it aint gonna start right. A good mini starter is not that expensive and the problems with heat soak are non-existent. Just my two cents. pinstripebob 02-23-2004, 04:50 PM That sounds like the way to go. I think I'll just get a regular battery now, and if it goes out in warranty, I'll go grab myself a six-pack. Thanks. | ||
