Re: Optima Red Top Battery
I guess it's not as bad for you since you only have one battery. I was thinking about my situation where I need two of them. Yeah I would prefer to get an AGM battery like the odyssey one but damn, $600 roughly?.. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ngHead.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':banghead:' />

Ouch! yeah two batteries would be brutal! Probably would not be doing this myself if I had to replace two. The best battery in my past I ever had, was simply a Sears Diehard. Damn thing lasted forever, never let me down, and was priced the same as similar batteries. As I mentioned before, I used to eat batteries, which is why I am willing to spend more, to get a really good one.

Oh god, those are expensive batteries! My truck need new ones and from what I have found from my research is that interstate batteries are great for the price of them. Interstate mtp-78 is the battery Phil recommended I get as well. Brian you are nuts for paying that much. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Well, you'll probably be faster then calling CAA. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... oflmao.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rotflmao:' />

Re: Optima Red Top Battery
Installed the new battery last night, holy crap what a beast. This thing is smaller physically in size, and weighs a shit load more than the original factory battery. <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... ght_on.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':right_on:' />
