I just bought two.
The maxima's died two weeks ago, and the GTI's died last week
The Maxima got a red top, and the GTI got a Yellow top Optima

8/27/2005 4:55:23 PM

why did you waste money on an optima?

8/27/2005 6:24:25 PM

yeah. should have gotten lawnmower batteries for WEIGHT SAVING POWAR!!!!!!!!111

8/27/2005 6:37:30 PM

the red was only $30 more than a regular batter, and the yellow was only $60 more. I figured it was a wise investment. I like the gel cell over liquid acid.

8/27/2005 6:50:32 PM

you could have kept that $90 in your pocket 'cause those batteries don't last longer than a normal battery. they are only better if you buy them for the cause they are intended.

well if he's makin bling bling, 90 bucks is pocket change

8/27/2005 7:11:46 PM

what are they intended for beyond starting a car?

8/27/2005 7:14:47 PM

they are more vibration resistant (for use in an off-road vehicle) and can mount in any position so unless it's going in an off-road buggy or mount the battery upside down, it's a waste of money.

optima claims they last longer but the people i know who have owned them say differently along with the people at Batteries Plus who sell them (ain't that a kicker).

you'll also see the deep-cycle blue top a lot in car audio installations so they can play the stereo with the car not running since a deep-cycle battery is able to withstand discharge/recharges better.

8/27/2005 7:33:16 PM

I thought yellow top was the car audio battery

8/27/2005 7:34:55 PM

yeah the website says the blue tops are for starting only.

8/27/2005 7:37:54 PM

maybe the guys down at batteries plus misled him!!!

8/27/2005 7:40:55 PM

yellow is deep cycle

8/27/2005 9:13:48 PM

underPSI is always down at batteries plus cause his wife loves her vibrator

8/27/2005 9:16:57 PM

Blue is also deep cycle, but it's a marine deep cycle designed to do double duty: crank and continuous discharge.

8/27/2005 11:21:04 PM

correct sah

8/27/2005 11:56:34 PM

The yellow top is for my stereo, and the maxima gets obused, so I got the red top. Also, that battety is going to be in the maxima's trunk, not the engine compartment.

8/28/2005 11:02:57 AM

using the yellowtop for ur stereo voids the warranty btw

Really?

8/28/2005 10:02:32 PM

Voids the warranty on the battery, or the stereo, or the car?
If you make a statement like that you need to be more specific.

8/28/2005 10:05:02 PM

have have proof

8/28/2005 10:09:30 PM

^? WTF did you say?

8/28/2005 10:35:12 PM

Well obviously it isn't going to void the warranty on the stereo.

8/28/2005 10:49:38 PM

Quit ruining my trick.
If he answered with stereo, I could have completely ignored him, even though he seems to know his stuff usually.

8/28/2005 11:22:23 PM

fuckin batteries.

8/29/2005 4:57:33 PM

^where the hell have you been?

8/29/2005 5:43:38 PM

Alright, my battery has died a couple of times within the past two weeks. I keep getting it recharged and i drive it for about 3 or 4 days and it dies again. Is this from the heat or do i just have a bad alternator. IF it's the alternator, how long does that normally take to get replaced. I need my car fixed by next thursday to make it back home to my dads wedding

8/29/2005 7:47:24 PM

you most likely have a short that is discharging the battery somewhere

8/29/2005 7:48:26 PM

does that mean i have a bad alternator?...sorry i'm terrible with cars

8/29/2005 7:52:21 PM

go get free alternator test at advance/autozone

8/29/2005 8:16:42 PM

I ve had my red top for 8 years and it has never let me down. Ive drained it dead several times and it has always come right back. Its a good investment if you plan on keeping a vehicle for a while.

Anybody use really small car batteries or lawnmower/motorcycle batteries? I wouldn't mind saving 20-30lbs. I don't listen to my stereo w/out the engine running...
