me and my friend found a place the other day that sells batteries the same size as the original sealed for 90 dollars which i thought was ok.

just turn your car on and off now and again, this isnt the best thing for it but will save the battery from going dead. and if all else fails they wheel a battery round after the show for those who have flat batteries!

I have the same battery in mine, but mine is an orange top, not too sure of the differance. Anyway these are great for car systems, and a 1 Farad Cap. wouldn't go astray either.

Bought mine at:

Battery World

1245A Sydney Rd.,

Fawkner, Vic, 3060

PH:9359 5111

PAID: $310 (with new battery clamps)

Be warned, you will need to modify your battery tray, leads and clamps to fit it. But is well worth the effort!

If you need help to fit it or if you just want to check mine out before buying it, give me a call as i have done mine myself.

loooks like its gonna cost alot...get solar panels on tha roof...

[DJ_L3ThAL]

yer im thinking of getting an optima.. is it true i need to upgrade my alternator ? and do those batteries last a full movie running say 500W RMS ? and with the clamps.. cant u just buy ones to fit from jaycar ? they haev golds clamps for like $10.. bargain! aznd do capacitoprs help.. if so wherr is the bets place to get one ? i think ill get one of those solar drip chargers at the same time for safety

[Guest RedLineGTR]

capacitors do help...just get a couple of batterys and daisy chain them...lolz

[muck]

the yellow top in my car pushing a about 600w rms , will manage 1 hour i know that.. i havent had it at the movies or run it longer yet.

[DJ_L3ThAL]

hmm.... and the yellow tops are about $300 ? how much are capacitors ?

[Al]

The battery clamps i bought are even cheaper than the jaycar ones.

Apart from the battery, there is not alot more expense, maybe another $20 for clamps, cable and battery holder.

NO you do not need to upgrade your alternator.

Give me a call and we could meet up.

i hear powercell and odessy batteries are very good for the money around $100 cheaper than the optimas

[DJ_L3ThAL]

k thx

[Al]

When looking at the three top batteries consider the following:

1/ amp/hr rates

2/ cca/ccp (cold cranking amps)

3/ size

4/ efficiency. How quickly can the battery release the power to the system.

You might laugh, but you could do worse than trying RACV batteries.

They have different levels of batteries, including some big mothers which could start a Mack truck from 1/2 a mile away.

Also, they deliver, install & provide a guarantee for no extra.

They're worth a call.
