Wtf Is The Deal W/ Optima Batteries
#12
i got one. orange top, dont ask. and ill tell u what, after i crashed my FB, the bulk of the impact was on the battery side. it sent the battery back so hard that it bent the ps pullet, took a chunk of the plastic off, one of the terminal wires was literally chopped off and one of the terminals was bent almost flat. took it out put it in another car and it started right up. ill get them from now on.

I bought one because the red top makes my engine bay look cool , but also for other legitimate reasons stated above. The red top was definately a selling point though , but would I list it as a legitimate mod? No.

Bought the red top optima for excellent starting power, good power for the stereo and all the other electronics in my car. It also shifted weight from the front of my car to dead center and lower (where it should be), cleaned up my engine bay, helped get more air in there for her to run cooler, and prevented a typical battery from leaking any harmful crap into my car from the storage bin right behind me. Performance mod- yes. Safety mod- yes.

Spill free is pretty nice though.
you'll also need a charger that has a setting for deep cycle batteries. I had a yellow top that got fried by a standard charger.

I mean the Battery starts the car the altenator does the rest so why will a Red top make my car faster??
