RE: [DML] new battery



Andy, Any battery that you like that will fit in the battery box hole will
work. But, The larger the cca the more cranking time you will have in case
of emergency. Just be sure to tie it down no matter what you get. I use
Wal-Mart for ease and convenience of warranty.

Subject: [DML] new battery


List,

Today i had my charging system tested (volt meter was doing odd things) and
they said my battery tested bad.  what i want to know now is what battery
should i get?  in the archives it says that the optima is a good battery,
but do i
really need it?  is it worth the extra money?

I am also having trouble figuring out which battery is the right
replacement.
 is it just called a ' 75 ' ?

My car is driven mostly on weekends so often times it sits maybe 5 or 6 days
between starting.  i have all of my electical issues sorted out so the
battery is never dead even after a couple weeks of non-running.  my last battery was an Exide and it is about three years old, however it was subjected to frequent total discharge in the first two years of its life as i sorted things out and fixed some wiring.  i am sure that is what caused its early demise.

what do you recommend out there?
Andy
