so the car has been sitting in the garage for a few weeks and of course the battery is dead. I push it out and check the fluid levels in the battery(its always getting one dry cell so i filled it up) i jumped it off and let it sit for a good 10min with a good 7k rev every now and then. I noticed it wasnt regaining it charge because whenever it would rev and let off the lights on the dash would flicker. turned the car off and tried a start and once again absolutly nothing. I figure the batterty is GONE and so its time for a new one. I hear optima is a nice battery and probly end up getting one, where is the best place to get one? or is there another battery worth looking in to?

so is the yellow that much better than the red? the only other thing im running off my battery are 4 nitrous solenoids

yellow is a deep cycle its able to be discharged and recharged many times and not suffer any affects its good for cars with a systems or cars that run heavey loads(lots of electrical items)in it like mine!

if your running stock items in your car like radio ,and some extras like a boost contoler and turbo timer you will see little gain in this for that just get an interstate ultra megatron battery!
they work great i had tham and used them and never had a problem with them!

For those of you with Optimas other than the orange top, were the cables able hook up without a problem? Did you cross them or extend them at all?

BTW checl out www.autobarn.com they have free shipping on Optimas.

If lightweight is your bag try these two links:

http://www.rogerkrausracing.com/hawker.html

http://www.westcobattery.com/pages/products.asp?id=11

They will both require some custom fab to work but the 500amp Hawker only weighs 13.5lbs. That's over 40lbs off of stock!
