Battery Talk

[Armrunner]

Need to replace my yellow top Optima and was wondering what everyone else is running? Making the jump over Odyssey? What else is there? I got 3 years out of the yellow top so I can’t be too mad.

Okay, it'll be probably another year till I actually need to buy a battery for my sh<@>#&tbox but...........

back in the day (meaning 10+ years ago when my trucks/building shit was my life) Optima's were the beezkneez. "forever and always"


i made 2 trays for 2 optima's in my truck.

and now........... they're dog shit supposedly and mine are depleted. (big word Jakey! good job!..... i think that's the right word?) and no one has anything good to say about them. unless you buy brand new ones, that are like 69 years old, and unless you buy them from Epstein....... and unless you put one...

Thread 'AGM VS conventional wet cell battery'

Dec 31, 2024

Hi guys, so I'm getting ready to do a SAS on my 1988 Toyota pickup with a 22re and I want to address my battery situation. It's a traditional car battery and there is a bunch of corrosion coming out of the fill holes and spilling onto the fenders causing rust and I just hate it ( no performance issues tho ). Also knowing that my truck is going to be doing some cool shit I've heard that they can tend to spill on steep inclines and rough terrain. I'm also going to have a winch and lights so I'm not sure if that right there is going to warrant the upgrade. my questions being what do you guys...

Weird. I searched on my phone and nothing came up. Maybe just my 90 year old iPhone. Thank you sir.
