    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    I just called Optima and asked for advice. They told me the Yellow-top D34 are dual purpose - designed for starting and deep cycles. I asked about warranty and they said it's 36-months, whether used for starting or not. I'll proceed with getting those, under the assumption that 750 CCA's are...

    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    Thanks, but I've exhausted all resources for the 6TL's under $200, unless I become a distributor. And I already have the 34 series adapters. So I'm between the yellow-top (deep cycle) and the red-top (starting) group 34s. Does anyone one have some technical input on the two and its suitability...

    HMMWV Battery Requirements Can anyone help me out with finding specs needed for the HMMWV batteries? Specifically, what are the Cranking Amp & Cold Cranking Amp (CA & CCA) requirements for the HMMWV? And would a starting-type battery be better, or a deep-cycle? Mine will sit most of the month...

    Man, that's too bad. Anyone got a source for the 6TL's that's under $200? Anything more than that and the Optimas w/adapters seems like the best fit.

    Where do you get your 6TLs for $125?

    I noticed the O'Reilly and Napa 6TL's have lower rated Cranking Amps (and Cold Cranking Amps) than the original military 6TLs. That ok?

    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    Haven't been able to find those locally. Do you mean the Optima Group 34's?

    No, just trying to find something local that has the same dimensions and at least the same specs. Would like to use the original brackets.

    Yeah I haven't been able to find anything local... Guess I gotta place an order and wait.

    HMMWV Battery / Requirements

    Having trouble finding replacement Interstate 6TL batteries for my M998. The ones recommended in other thread's aren't available around me. Just Walmart and auto parts stores. Are there any common, readily available batteries that will work as good or better than the 6TL?
