I'm planning on installing it this weekend if we like the fit. It's the best deal I've seen for a larger, quality AGM battery. I just wish they sold a Bosch AGM that would fit in my 914. Most guys seem to go with a 34R in the full size AGM realm but that won't fit with my rain tray. The battery it is replacing is an Interstate that's been in service for 16 years and still cranks fine, but it's time to switch to an AGM for the sake of corrosion prevention. The Interstate has a negative cutoff valve which is the main reason it lasted so long. That, and it was probably built to a higher standard at the time. My newer interstates have not been quite so robust. I am bringing this up b/c most people seem to be of the opinion that a trickle charger is the only way to go on a car that is not driven regularly. I'm not knocking the trickle charger because there are definitely situations that require one, but a good battery that gets fully charged by the alternator generally doesn't discharge if there is no draw on it, so a cutoff switch can be a cheap, easy option. |
