I need your suggestion. What battery should I purchase for my 95 Cobra - Sears diehard, Duralast, Optima or any others etc.. What are the pros and cons of your suggestions. Peace.
Well seeings how i work at sears the logical answer would be diehard but nope get an optima its well worth it and what do ya know it also can be purchased at SEARS.
I have an Optima Red top, very happy with it. Has great reserve power and the car seems to crank up faster now. It was $10 additional to put a 3 year warranty on the battery, so I dont know what's such a "pain" about that.
I had a red top Optima in my winter beater and it was sitting for 4 months without starting, and it started up fine. My dad had a interstate in his Mark VIII and he had it sit for 2 months and when he tried to start it, all there was was a click. He put in a red top Optima and it starts fine every time, sometimes it sits for 4 weeks without running.
I bought an Optima yellow top for my cobra when i was on leave and because of my underdrives and the car was sitting it went dead. So i had my bro go and exchange it for a red top. Even after the car was sitting for awhile it's always started up and I've never had a problem with it.
I'm with donjohn, I go to walmart and just pick out a battery. I would rather spend that money on other mods and Gas. Or maybe just gas. Plus, I need to build a garage this summer mine has a wood floor and leans to the right.
Once I left my headlights on in my F100 during a 2hr movie. When I came out, I was sure that I was going to need a jump. Shut off the lights, turned the key, and it cranked and started like a champ.
Hey thanks for the input. I purchased an Optima Yellow Top because I have the underdrive pullies and an agressive stereo system. I talked to the folks and Optima and they suggested the yellow top so I purchased it. It has more CCA amps (750) and CA (875) than the Sears Diehard Gold and other similar batteries and is suppose to be good for the electronics I have in the car, we'll see. I'm going to beat the hell out of it the first year while it's still under warranty.
