Anyone have a extra battery they wanna get rid of thats lyin around?? Group 50/50r........i donno. The ArborCrate charger failed , i guess its not worth the 20% coupon i used thinking i got a good deal

 

I'm guessing not many people have one laying around? If it was, it's probably a deadweight.


Buy a new battery.

 

seems like it too.....

Has anyone here have any thoughts of the Optima yellow top



I know before there was some kind of recall about holding a charge or something in that nature , does anyone here use or have it in there vehicle....????

 

not a fan. look at their cold cranking amps, or CCA. its really low. its on the low end of what the cheapest battery at autozone has. unless you have a need for a depcycle battery i wouldnt bother.

 

Just buy a $50 autozone battery. If you want weight savings, get a lithium ion battery ($$).

 

yah if you are worried about weight thats one thing but he battery itself isnt that great.

note: anyone ever notice its really fat people that are worried about how much their car weighs? i always wanna tell em to eat a salad. second note, im not even close to a skinny dude

It's strong enough to crank over my truck engine for gods sakes! Also it won't ever spill since it's not a lead/acid.

Good luck finding as good of a battery for the price. The optima isn't a light battery anyway, it's quite heavy.


I know a fair deal about optima batteries and let me just say, the optima does NOT belong in the S2000. Completely the wrong application for one. In the indoor karting business I've been through literally hundreds of yellow top optimas, great battery but they're huge and the benefits the bring are mostly useless in the S2K.
