Great Battery in Our Z's

OldGuy · 04-03-2013, 07:22 PM

Just returned to PA from our winter in Florida. Since December 8th, the Z simply sat in our chilly PA garage, no start-ups, no battery chargers, nothin'. I just hit the ignition and she fired up like she had been driven just yesterday. That's awfully good for a car I bought in December '09, manufactured June '09. Yes, we gripe some about our Z's, but credit where credit is due. In all other respects, as well, mine has been virtually perfect.

I wonder if I should change my aftermarket batteries back to oem now

It might not be so much the battery is great. The compartment the battery is in helps protect it from the direct heat of the engine which helps extend the battery's life.

For those of you that don't know this batteries are stronger in the winter than they are in the summer.

Really?? Wow... Mine dies in 2 weeks and half. So even in the winter, I have to take it out for a spin once every 2 weeks... Granted I have aftermarket audio system installed. Guess it's the capacitor suck out the battery life...

I hope you don't have a problem with it. I guess I should have mentioned my past before you and I were an item.

6 D cells were fine. When he wanted me to go 220V, that was it.
