The last battery I bought was an Optima...... that was about 7 years ago. What do you all think of the Optima..... and is there anything better?
Pros and Cons? New technology? Better value? I recall the Optima was much more expensive than other batteries. Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Odyssey Battery (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) ...hands down the best battery I have ever used.
Last one a PC1200 lasted 13 years...it was purchased in 2004 just pulled the invoice. used it on two different 911 and 914 race and street cars. Never trickel charged it just sat in cars or on shop shelf. Started 6 and 4 cyl high compression engines everytime. Still have a PC680 on the shelf that was used on 914 track cars only and it still holds a charge and I don't even know how old it is.... They can sit for months and still start a car or anything else The new one a PC1200 is in the 914-6...I'll need a paint job before this one wears out. They are more expensive that the flaps battery but in the long run not so much. $160 for 13 years...not too bad.... If you drive it every day...buy cheap.....if you let it sit buy the Odyssey. And they DON"T LEAK ACID! My 2c and a satisfied customer for their product. https://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc120...3xoCm7sQAvD_BwE |
