Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Audio what battery would be better to upgrade with?

The optima yellow top deep cycle or the interstate deep cycle batteries?

what are you planning to do???

I almost bought that red top optima till i went to wal mart and theyve got that 2 yr warrantee deal....I save the reciept and bring mine back in every year and pay the 6 dollar pro rate to exchange it. I love customer service.

the red tops are the way to go i liked mine until someone broke into my garage and stole it

i believe they are the same thing. interstate owns/makes optimas.


interstate

Odyssey batteries tend to be stronger and last longer than the Optimas.

I haven't heard a bad thing about Optima Bats

A friend of the family and interstate battery dealer only uses Enersys Odyssey batteries in his car. I returned 3 Optimas (all under warranty) over the last 6 years. I started to do some research and found what he had been telling me all along, Optima batteries seem to have below average longevity in cold weather climates.

motocraft....6 year warrenty. My last one lasted till this past summer. It was the original one in the car (11 years and 160K miles). Seen lots of days and nights at -40 and it had my system in it for a year as well.
