Optimas vs. Mega Trons

[roosterdiesel]

I need batteries, driver's side shows bad. I've used Interstates in my gasser pickups from the past, and I use Optimas in my performance 2nd generation F-body toys. Well this vehicle falls under both categories ! Do I take my hot rod habits and get the Optimas or the daily driver taste and get the Interstates?

I know a couple guys around here that spent the $$ for the Optimas. I asked them why and they pretty much bought the name. I can reason buying one for a car where the battery's in the trunk. Now buying two that's a little hard.

I wished I had bought the optimas for my truck. With the stage II intake I now have its that much more room for airflow, plus I get occasion leakage from my intersates I also run an optima in the hotrod. Bryan

I popped for 2 850cca Optimas, at Sears. Pricey but I like'm. Had'm about 6 months now... No leaks, No mess, No terminal build-up, no scaley crap in the trays, no gas/vapor smells.

My first Gell Cells but I think I'm sold on'm. Just put one in the wifes WindStar.

I have had Optimas in my truck for about 4 years with no problems. I like them and would buy again.

I get a little leakage from my Interstates too. I almost got the Pptimas too.

Well looks unanimous!

I'm going with the Optimas. I've had leakage too with my past Interstates. -mad Now I've got to figure out what on my "mods to-do list" gets pushed back.

I have 4 yellow tops in my PSD van and I have no complaints. I have alot of extra elecrtical goodies so I went for the yellow tops. Jim

What is the average price of the optimas? What is the diff in yellow and red tops?

The red tops are regular starting batteries and the yellow tops are deep cycle. I think you can get the red tops for around 125.00, not sure about the yellow tops.
