batteries?

[mckeddie]

Buggy is needing a new battery. In debating on getting another optima. Anyone have any other suggestions on a good deep cycle?

Thanks,
Greg

I know I should not do this, but, there is a good thread on pirate about optima alternatives.

Yeah... google the words "OptimaJim" and "sorry" and prepare to camp out for several days with all the problems and BS excuses

I really like my NGT-Extreme battery from Carquest... it's manufactured by East Penn Manufacturing, made in USA, and is essentially a rebadged DEKA Intimidator which is about as good as it gets.

I got a discount through work since we use CQ as a supplier, but I only paid $102 IIRC for my battery, about 1.5 years ago. Jeep sits for a LONG period of time between starts, no problems at all. Costs 1/2 of a Sears Diehard battery, so it's a good battery for me.

Odyssey or Interstate work great in extreme applications.

there's a couple threads on IH8mud also... the landcruiser guys seem to like the Die Hard batteries...

i have a friend that has 2 yellow tops in his suburban that are about a year old now and has not had any trouble from them...

i have been happy with my advance brand batteries for what i payed for them..

Diehard Platinums are made by Oddyssey are available at Sears for much less.

Diehards have about as good of a reputation as you can find.

It will defiantely be my next battery choice for my truck but right now I have a platinum gold series battery from oreillys in my rig and I ran it on a saturday and half a sunday without the alternator first weekend I had it until it died.
Jumped her with a working alternator and never had a problem, Works great.

Think I paid 110 or so my dad runs the same thing as well in his rig.
3 year full warranty I believe as well.
