for any of you guys that are interested, i'm selling an Optima Yellow Top battery. For those of you that don't know, it's a dry cell battery, so it's charge doesn't deplete as easily. It can be not used for several months and still start the car without any problems, and i think it has a larger capacity and CCA's than OEM honda batteries.

However, I'm selling it because my mods require higher CCA's than this Yellow Top can provide (500CCA)

Car battery donot like to sit for any lenth of time it can cause sulfation.Try charging it on a high charge for 3 min and see if the voltage is higher then 15.5volt.[16.5 with maintenance free] the battery could be sulfated.If you store your cars for any lenth of time use a battery maintainer to keep the battery maintain it at 100%.also I would check to see if your car have any draw any draw of more then .07 of a amp can drain your battery down in a few month.

I work at Kingsway Honda, let me know if you need anything. I can hook you up with the battery too if it's not under warranty. Just let me know.
