Battery

[yota.coma]

the new ones just arent what they used to. and you could buy like 3-4 batterys for the price of the 1. i have one but i dont think i would pay for another.

some of the duralast have 3-4 year free replacement, while optima is only 1

Gotch ya I guess when the time comes for my stereo I'll have to look at a different route.

alot of car audio guys are using sprinter and oddessy( i think thats how they spell it)batterys

5-7 years old. I have a carquest riding mower battery that still works and its 8-9 years old.[/QUOTE]

Dave that's a long time for a Interstate battery I have never had a battery last that long. I think I wouldn't feel comfortable with one that old only because I go out of town in my truck with no where to buy a battery.

It turns out it's spelled ODYSSEY(one of them damn words with silent letters) and thanks.

I'll start looking at those as viable alternatives.

I'm the unlucky one, both the factory AC Delco batteries that we had in my 02 Silverado and my wifes old Venture leaked and made a mess. They were both under warranty at the time so a new one went in. But just recently I got one of Advance Auto's batteries and so far so good.

Then there is Odyssey which from all the reading on my VW diesel forum is a really good battery. That is what I'm going to put in my 01 jetta when it needs a new one. The one in there now is 5yrs old.

Not sure if you saw my post. The Odyssey sounds like a good battery for heavy use.

No I didn't.Thanks.
That falls under the "I tend to be a skimmer with some attention defecit disorder and shallow retention tendencies" category.

Or I'm just a dumbass. (It's a shorter term and more accurate)

You didn't have to AGREE that I'm a dumbass!(all though I am at times)

and DAMN those Odysseys are NOT cheap by any means. I need a couple of them to "fall off the back of a truck"
