I would like to know if any of you are using an Optima battery, and what benifits there are, if there are any to switching over to one..thanks

 

you can mount it upside down

 

i am about to put in a a new sound system into my 08 tC, is this something that will benefit my system, also is it a good battery regarding powering the overal car..starting wise

 

Good thing about the battery is if you ever flip your car over, you know et least your battery is fine.


But seriously they are good batteries, If you get it from Auto zone you have a 3 year free replacement warranty with an 8 year difference charge warranty. And its not a liquid acid its more of a gel so you don't have to worry about leaks or corrosion.

 

btw u posted this in the wrong section, ICE and interior would be a better fit since it has to do with electronics.

Optima batteries hold charge better and would be a great upgrade for systems needing alot of power. They aren't necessary though.

 

Sam's club carries them as well.

I'm planning on buying one myself, My corrola's battery has corrosion all over it and it's only a few years old.

 

I degrease and wash my engine bay once a week and then air dry it with an air compressor. Corrosion has no time to build up!

 

i have decided to go with the Optima YellowTop Deep Cycle Battery - (ULT-9040-21 what ya think, here's the specifics about it:

Read the section on optima batteries.

 

i did, now what am i looking for

 

i haven't changed my battery but if i were id be looking at kintek. im sure there are others that have suggestions as well.

 

thanks ill look into it

 

if you put a wanging system in your car u might wanna consider a second battery like kinetics so your system runs off its own battery. Kinetics is one of the brands out htere the only one i remember off hand. but there batters have a faster recharge rate

 

u only want the system running off a second battery if the car is off. otherwise a second battery will not help you.

 

i have one in my drift car and it works awesome
and they dont leak

which one do you have the optima, or the kinetics battery

 

optima red top

 

Optimas will last alot longer than alot of batterys out there, I have a yellow top and I love it!

 

just wondering when i upgrade my battery in what mod section would that fall under(Exterior,Audio,power, or other mods)

 

i <3 my yellowtop. people bash it but i've never had a problem with mine. EVER
