I need a new battery - suggestions?

Hey,

Any suggestions on what battery I should install? Stocker isn't holding a charge anymore.

Do you have any hi-drain devices? Upgraded audio, or additional accessories that would draw extra power?

RIGHT! If I put in 10 Optima batteries in the rear, I'll be that much closer to a 50/50 wt ratio!

Thanks, Dev - you're the best

Red top Optima should do it. Zoeb used to have a hook up on them try hitting him up, if he says no just plain hit him...

i bought one of these devices from JC WHITNEY.

it goes between the cig lighter port and your inverter. when the voltage drops down 10.7 volts (iirc), it cuts off the power...

it was like under $20...

another thing is if you do this alot, hardwire a cig port straight from the batt. that circuit goes through a few harnesses/connections. it could drop the voltage.
