All batteries have success and failure stories. Time to throw the Delco back in the family boat for the summer. It is the start of year FOURTEEN for it. Tiny automotive type battery that I got for free in Feb 2000 when it was swapped out and the problem turned out to be the alternator in my...

Well said!

I've heard a lot about Optimas, both good and bad. I am considering them. I have had very good luck with the 1000 cca yellow Duralast batteries from Autozone. I have them in two of my vehicles. One did go bad after 34 months and it was replaced free. 3 year replacement with no prorate. No...
