Just be sure not to overcharge them,,,as they don’t like much over 14v of pressure....I’ve got a yellow top in my Blazer that’s date coded 2007’ & still kicking strong....but over past 4-5’ish years-the red top has surpassed the yellow on cca’s.
One of my biggest reason for using them is “0” corrosion @ terminals...but the installer has to thoroughly clean everything up well first.

Charging system, starter and alternator all tested and fine, it was that damn pos Optima battery that failed. Nissan is using Interstate batteries which are my preference and got it installed, tested and back on the road. Funny thing I had the battery tested at Auto Zone last Sunday and he said it was good with 82% on the reading. Oh well, stuff happens. Now I have a new battery w 2 year warranty at 100% before it gets prorated for 3 more years.

You didn’t buy it from e-bay like another member I know (EW) ?
Could have got a refurbished one, it happens

Searching around for a decent portable DAC. Any recommendations? I'd be using it with a pair of Sennheiser open back hd598 and closed back 650s.

There’s some DAC’s here in SC (Dumb Azz Cun*’s)...unsure what a 598 or 650 is.

My manager got introduced to Microwave Hops and design this week.

Me, " Those 5.8 unlicensed MW radio's are only good for 7 to 8 Miles and have good reliablility."

Him, " No that's not right. That is false. We made a hop work up to 13 miles the other day."

Me, "Guess you shall see."

Can someone take me out back and shoot me please.

Hold still and let me tape a target to your back. Then take off running. I like shooting at moving targets.

Don't ya just love the 'know-it-alls'... Most mobile radios are good for line of sight ~11 miles (over flat land) with the built in antennas. Add a 6 foot whip, then you MIGHT get more.... along with a giant sign that says 'shoot me, I have a radio'....
