DeLabel battery & some SPECS DIE HARD OPTIMA

I just replaced my Panasonic oem battery with a DIE HARD GOLD.

Do you clean off all the decals that come with it?

So it just looks solid black.

What group does everyone use?

K-Mart had a sale. 100 dollars if you turn in the old battery. I just meant the OTC batteries. Taking all the labels off. I think the stock is group 23. The one I got is group 25.

My wife's nephew works for Battery Plus. I'm trying to get him to hook me up with a red top.
Anyways, I dont "debadge" my battery, although that's not a bad idea!
