Optimas ROCK!!!!

[WhiteDevil]

Well my car has been having starting problems for the past few weeks. I changed out the cables to see if it would help at all, even though i new my battery was crap, stock 10 year old battery. The car had always taken a while to craken ever since i have owned it. So my dad got me an early christmas present. HOly Crap! It sounds like a honda starting up now. I barely have to turn the key and its on. One of the best things i have ever done for my car. I reccomend it!!!

What does that mean?

And yeah, Optimas rock. I ran them on my offroad trucks.

What does that mean?

I mean like i just turn the key for a slit second and its on, it cranks so fast.

Maybe I'm just confused on how that's a Honda trait. A properly running EFI car should always fire right up.

Eh, maybe I'm reading too far into it.

Optimas are vehicle batteries. Most common in street vehicles is the red top. Figure on $100-$120.

How many watts? Honestly, unless you're running a competition system (few thousand watts), I'd stick with a red top. A red top did just fine in my 800 watt system coupled with offroad lights and a winch (my old F150).

If you know anyone in the Armed Forces, have them check their nearest exchange store. I paid $92.00 for mine.

If you don't drive the stang very often...get the yellow top. I've went through two red tops in my old coupe...by went through i mean taking them back for a new one. They would not start after sitting for 2weeks+ or so and wouldn't charge. I've been meaning to take this one i've got laying around back and upgrade to a yellow but never done it.
