    Battery Feeler

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My battery just bit the dust, and i need a new one, and i was wondering what people thought about different batteries. I'm not looking to break the bank (the cheaper the better in my case cause i just got 500 ish bucks in citations for having a party last night )

    so if i could get your opinions on different batteries that would be stellar.

    Thanks!

    costco sells optima too, don't they? if you got the money they are the cats ass, make sure its a yellow top, they are deep cycle and alot harder to kill.

    Re: Battery Feeler

    does the optima yellow top fit in the stock location/is any bracket modding required?

    Seeing how my cats ass smells bad and has some poop on it I'm taking that these optima batteries are no good.

    Carquest battery or Advance Auto parts battery. No need to buy an Optima, they're not that great.
