I know the optima redtops are great batteries... but i heard if you store your car for a couple months, these batteries will run out of juice when u take it out from storage (even if you leave it disconnected)
so i'm wondering what's a good battery to get that also won't drain out when you bring it out from storage? ac delco? interstate? kirkland? energizer? other? -------------------- |

All batteries slowly discharge over time. Its simply the battery technology's fault.
i dont have a preference to brands. So I recomend the one with the longest warrenty. Have you considered a trickle charger? this is the one i use. It solar power and keeps my alarm system from killing my battery. solar charger |
