hi all

have 2 x Optima D34M ("blue top") deep cycle batteries (marine battery with extra terminals)

test fit them for a project for about a day, then decided not to go ahead

batteries are a bit over a month old, and am trying to recoup some cost :thumbsup:

have remainder of a 2 year warranty (about 23 months or so), just need to dig up the receipt

more info here:

and

they weigh 20kg each, so it's pretty much pick up only

R $270 each / I $300 each

RRP = $445

cheapest i can find is $325 plus shipping here: http://www.keoghsmarine.com.au/product_det...g_ProductID=509

hi. im interested. but i have 2 conditions.

it needs to fit my custom battery holder which was made/shaped to fit the yellow d34 which seems to be the same as what u have

other condition is , it needs to start the car from the boot. if its really only a couple months old it shouldnt be a problem

i will pm u my number. gimme a call asap. im free 24hr/7 days

these are still acid batterys arent they? so not suitable for in-cabin?

they're 100% sealed and maintenance free

this quote from the website leads me to believe in cabin use should be OK:

Nonspillable Maintenance Free

The OPTIMA® is spill-proof and maintenance free. Because of its completely sealed case, OPTIMA® batteries are extremely safe. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or clean terminals.

OPTIMA® Blue Top batteries are spill proof, so they can be mounted anyplace inside a boat or RV, in almost any position.

    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
    • 10 minutes on a lathe would be one way to achieve literally anything you want, too. (except for AN type stuff - just talking about M-F with BSP and NPT in any mix/combo).
    • yeah, so "something" should be -4 AN....to a hose....to a -4AN to NPT fitting *edit* sorry, I surely have that backwards. The LS is from land of the free so it must be NPT at the block, and the Nissan sender is BSPT. But still, conceptually the same
    • Yea I mean I know it exists, but finding (specifically) female BSPT to male NPT (i.e, to plug a Nissan OEM sensor into a 'standard' NPT port) was truly difficult. I don't think I'll recreate the setup I had in the past unless it's (possibly?) advisable with a stronger T piece made of steel, but who knows if the aluminium threads in the block become the next weak point etc. Given it may need to be redrilled out and something tapped into it, it'll need to be Female BSPT to the something that ends uo coming out of the side of the block.
    • Sounds like a perfect time to harness up a couple of the dogs, show the horses what real power is about!
