Battery ?

the battery is shot in the car, i cant even get it to charge. so i will be replacing it so i can at least start the car on a regualar basis.

what is the best battery? i have been looking at the optima. is it really worth the extra money, i know they look good.

second ?, cant you use a marine battery? i thought you could but have heard a few people say otherwise.

thanks

I think they are worth it. I run Optima red tops in both of my cars and used to run one in my truck (before it was stollen ).

Re: Battery ?

FWIW: I have an advanced autoparts battery (their best one) in my dad's Dodge...it had been in Reeds Buick since '01 or '02. Gave it to me last summer. It would NOT turn the car over one night in November when it was cold...so I let it sit (in driveway for 3-months). Tried again 3-days ago (never charged it or anything)..and it cranked over fine. Still showed full charge everything . The advance batteries are good.

Re: Battery ?

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay


Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery


Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me


Battery


Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity


Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery


Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me


Battery


Circle of Destruction, Hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, Dominating flurry
We create the Battery


Smashing through the boundaries
lunacy has found me
cannot stop the Battery
Pounding out aggression
turns into obsession
cannot kill the Battery


Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me


Battery
