In the market for a new battery, wat r u guys runnin out there? just a reminder im in the East Coast (NYC)

My options are

Optima Yellow : D35 (8040-218)
Red : 35 (8020-164)

Or Braille... which im undecided on that battery...

So please help me out

 

Get a kinetic 1400 ... All your problems are solved...

Holla at me when you ready...

 

Is the car stock from an electronics perspective? Are you running any amps / accessories?

 

I'm running the Optima Yellow Top.

 

i had the Braille 21lb and it worked GREAT, until my car killed it like 5months later but during that time it started better than with any of the 2-3 stock batteries i also ended up killing.

 

I'm running an AC Delco battery works just fine.

 

I've had my Optima Red Top 35 for a little over a year now. Works great and saved a little weight too!!! I think Optima is offering a $25 rebate right now. Check it out...

 

I use to work at an auto parts retail store and most optimas didn't last over 2-3 years. They are great for offroading or for racing for their dry cell construction, but not practical and a waste of money for our cars.

 

thought about getting the braille 21 lb. but you say that it dies in 5 months, what happen? thanks

 

My yellow top lasted 1.2 years...

 

I would suggest the Optima Yellow Top - that's what I currently have in my '06

 

I also said that my car has killed a load of OEM batteries too, and the dealership cant find anything "wrong", so i dont know. i am still under warranty for the battery but i have yet to hear back from Braille. Could have been a bum battery,or it could be a curse. But i know others who are running with the Braille and have been happy, its just $$ if it dies...

 

that's what i'm worry about. just got the op. yellow not too long ago from Jae, after the oem battery dies on me like 6 times.

 

I had my Yellow Top in my 04 TSX for 6 months, then switched it over to the TL-S and I've had it in there for about a year and a half. So total of about 2 years now and no issues.

 

my yellow top is great,no probablem,just wanted to takes some weights off the car

 

Red top for starting battery!
Yellow top for accessory battery!

I've killed 3 yellow tops in 18 months until I finally read that they are semi-deep cycle and shouldn't be used as primary batteries.

The red top is perfect for your main battery.

 

Notice how most ignored your post.. this should tell you something!

Now tell me how much... I can't find any in my area!

 

I've had my red top in my accord for 2 years and switched it over to the TL for about a year now. 3 years and no problems so far.

I picked mine up from Coscto. Might save you a few bucks

 

hell yes!

Dats wat imma get then, i kno where to get it locally but might holla at u aswell

 

wow i didn't know people killed batteries this much. I have had my little Oem in my 04 TL running all new components and a JLW7 with a 500:1 amp no problem and now with the 08 TL-S i have the good ol OEM in this one too running just the amp and sub with no problem.
