Subject: Re: Installing an Optima Battery in my '92 by bogus on 2010/10/5 5:54:32 Here's the score: Any battery will fail. The key is this - will the battery survive abuse? I suspect, Rich, that the stereo of doom was run frequently without the engine running... that'll kill a battery. Most car batteries are not designed for deep cycle, Red Tops included. The thing with Optima's is that they seem to last either 3 months or 10 years+. My tint dude, John, in FL, has one in his old CJ7 and one in his oldish (early 90s?) Nissan pickup. Both are over 10 years old. This is also an experiment as much as anything... Is the Optima as good as advertized. Considering my luck with lead acid of late, I need to do a change-up. |
