What battery do you Recommend?

[FiEND]

i've had 3 red tops.  1 died well after warranty, 1 died shortly after warranty and one gave me $75 back in pro-rated $

i went with a single rebuilt red top almost a year ago and it's performing as good as the other 3 I had.  all through winter and winching and winter camping and sitting for weeks on end while I ride my bike.   Also powers my new 500watt stereo no problem.

best of all, it cost me $75 (free swap for my pro-rated warranty).  i'm planning on getting another to fill the dual space under my hood.  I didn't expect it to last 6 monts so I am pleasantly surprised.

These 'Eliminator Spiral Grid' batteries are the same AGM technology used in Optima's batteries. $170 and their warranty is fantastic (3-year direct replacement, 10-year pro-rated). So, cheaper than the optima's, and better warranty. I've been using these batteries since I started jeeping, have put them through so much on the trail (eg. alternator died and constantly discharged/boosted battery a dozen times just to get out of fish east!) and still ran solid for years after.
Ask Jonas he ought to remember that one

Now the Orbital guys chime in........too late.
