The Only Battery Thread You Should Ever Post In

No shit man.  I've been in a K24 Accord that revs up to 8k though.

lol. Yeah Pretty late. It was very scary seeing the needle that high. Anyhow thanks for the offer tim but shipping would be outrageous even for that small part. If it does break again or my negative cable breaks in half I'll definitely contact you. Thanks again though.

yea stock terminals suck my positive side never seems to want to tighten all the way and the negative is just crap i will be upgrading the terminals and making my own negative cables

well my battery died today so i guess ill be looking for new battery. will try to keep under 100 since i dont have audio system or anything

probably gona get duralast gold its 620CCA
there is regular duralast which is 500CCA.

what you think. is there much difference? i think honda battery that i had is 400CCA

That extra just might help you start your car on a cold ass day.

I'd stay away from duralast I personally have had nothing but, problems with them.  I'd go with Diehard or Interstae the prices should be close to the same, and I think you will have better results.

I'm still running the same battery since it was new in the Honda. I'm sure it'll give up through this winter though.  I've actually had good luck with Walmart batteries, believe it or not.

I have had a Duralast Gold in my car since May of 07, when I got it. I havent had any problems out of it at all, but I also live in a some what mild climate with lows around 20. I also keep my car in a climate controlled garage 99% of the time, so that might help.

I got the Duralast red top for the i4 recently, and it works fine under normal conditions, but I noticed that when it gets really cold it immediately gets really weak to start. But that's to be known with cold weather. Whenever this one dies I'm going to upgrade to the v6 battery and possibly get the Duralast gold top, or something of equivalence.

My car also still has the factory original battery. I would stay away from auto zone parts as much as possiable. A lot of the brands they carry have gone to shit IMO.

so with my new job being that i travel a lot, i originally had my girl starting my car once or twice a week while i was gone. after the 3rd week i was gone she went to start it and it was dead 100%, didnt even click or anything she said. so i started to disconnect the battery when i left in case i had a power drain somewhere. when i reconnected it, it still needed a jump start. i was out of town for a week this past week and i had to jump it again. now since i've been driving it everyday, whenever i go to start it, it seems to lag when starting. the battery is a yellow top optima that is about 3 years old and i thought these batteries are supposed to last longer than that?? sometimes it wont even remote start because that's using more juice to remote start it.

i honestly dont have the patience or time to troubleshoot a battery drain and im hoping its just a bad battery that i can easily replace.

or is there something else i'm missing and could try without getting all up in the engine and shit?

[k24low20z]

i had a yellow optima take a shit on me last year.. i got a duramaxx at walmart and called it a day.

[rich]

yeah well if i didnt have my damn tsunami battery top distribution block i would just get a battery that is really good but cheaper than the optima

[rich]

got a new one and have no issues now. was a battery problem

[timot_one]

Optima batteries are no longer good.  They got bought out by another company, cut costs, and aren't worth shit any more.
