Place it in the car to help offset your weight when racing it.




Ya, but moving the battery around means i'm accumulating more preperation points. I race in a PAX/Prep point system, and the battery relocation will move me up into the bottom of the next race class. There is however a grey area interms of battery size, as it doesn't have any rules against changing battery sizes.

I have an optima and it works great so far. I only paid $84 for it new though.

i finally finally after years of putting it off got one, then it got stolen out of my car while i was assembling it! I've heard that its good, convincing enough for me to buy one. Some ******* in Dover can tell you if my battery is awesome or not. I'd assume its the same guy that stole Martin's hawker battery.

Now I really only drive the car on the weekend--if that. How long does it take for the gel pack to lose its charge? Is a week going to be hell on the battery?

Die Hard Gold has over 900cca, 3 year free replacement warranty and 100 month pro-rated warranty.



I had a 5 year old battery I brought in with no reciept and a new one only cost me $35, its a $80-$90 battery new

My die hard gold is messed up somehow. It gets good voltage but every once and a while it completely messes up and my voltage takes a complete dump. Its weird...sometimes it works..sometimes it doesn't.



Kinda scary.

I have put my redtop through hell. It still looks good and cranks great.



I drag race so its relocated to the back.

I drove 350 miles on a red top after an alternator failure-I was pretty impressed with that...
