Has anyone used one of these battery acid mats?
http://www.amazon.com/The-Battery-Mat-Acid...attery+acid+mat Does anyone have thoughts on using this as an alternative to buying an Optima type sealed battery? The battery in my 914 isn't very old so I don't really want to replace it, but I am concerned about worsening the battery tray and hell hole rot. My other thought was about cutting up a second one of these mats to fit in the hell hole/engine bay shelf area to help protect it in the event some acid does make it's way down there. Andrew |

i think the return policy at costco contributed to the end of sales. i know of 2 that failed, buyers went to costco, and they just exchanged them. perhaps the profit margin was too slim as well.

Fine by me though as the quality of the Optimas has gone to (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) the last few years. The one I just replaced started going bad after about 3 years (the first one i bought back in 2000 lasted closer to 10). Decided to give the Odyssey 925 a try this time around. Higher cost up front as i bought the rennline mount for it as well, but the mount is a 1 time purchase and the whole package does save 15lbs in my autox car over the Optima. |
