This is the one I am looking at. Not that much more than what I normally get.

Have one of those in my truck. Got it just before Sears closed up.

That's cool... Don't forget your 10% discount code DH10 on checkout!

I have an Interstate 850242 ( non-AGM )w/ same 650 CCA in mine for like $75... This replaced my original OEM battery back on 3/18/18... I wrote the install date on the battery

It seems to be holding up fine considering my hot wire that goes to it from my 2 audio amps is actually thicker than the OEM - ground to block... that BigAudioFanat does some bad azz installs! I plan to replace mine w/ same type come March again and treat it like a maintenance item every 3 years regardless.

I still have the OEM battery in mine. It's going on 10 years.

Mine died when it was setting for so long with the blown headgasket. It took it's toll. It has been acting funky after setting for a couple of days. Time for a new one. My 300zxtt was so hot under the hood
it would evaporate a ton of water. If I didn't check it, bye-bye battery.

Holy Moly! That's amazing. You must certainly keep a tender on that during winter storage to optimize longevity I would imagine...That's awesome Rusty!

I keep a battery tender on it, and keep the water topped off.

I just put 2 - 12 volt engine and 4 - 6 volt house batteries in the motor home. That was close to $800.00.

Spooler · 10-30-2020, 01:13 PM

The amazing part for me is my car has never ever been on a battery tender. Not the first time.

My first TransAm would eat batteries. About every 18 months. Had to replace the battery. AC Delco. All under warranty. The dealer hated that car.

I like that blue

getting a lb of that to do some tests. I think the wheels on the G might look good in that
