The Project Pad

I had a yellow top in my 90, went strong for 3 years but died the first time it was deep cycled. Not worth the money IMO. Performed the same as a regular battery. My powerstroke has had the shitbox walmart batteries in it for 5 years and they finally gave up the ghost this year when it got down to -20. :shurg:[/quote]

same exact thing here. I used to run optimas but they failed on me when deep cycled. I run "n"everstart's on most of my cars and they work fine. Be smart and put the receipt in a ziplock baggie taped to the side of the battery though just in case, I have had one or two croak while under warranty.

Other interesting battery tidbits: their 'powersport' line of batteries does not carry the same warranty as their regular batteries. I bought one for my generator (basically the worst case scenario for a battery: seldom used and out in the cold, never topped up). it died after a year or so, not holding any charge whatsoever. I looked inside and there was no fluid, just these nasty stalactite looking icicles hanging out on the lead plates. Doing some reading, its possible to convert that stuff back into sulfuric acid by adding a heated solution of epsom salts. I tried it, and it actually worked (who knew, reading something on the internet that was actually true, wooo!)
