I am going to buy an Optima battery but am unsure which one to get. Is the red top sufficient? I am also installing a 170 amp high output alternator.
What is the difference between to two batteries? Cranking amps? Do you like yours? |

Where do you guys get the money to buy such expensive batteries. best part is the warranty on them. redtop is 3yrs, in store replacement. seeing as how most batteries only last 2yrs, you just go back and get a new one if when it dies, and your 3yr warranty starts all over again. i already replaced mine once when i killed it by running the car with no alt for 2hrs. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
