5 out of 5 stars Cranking power!   January 14, 2009

Perhaps I just haven't had a new battery in a while and I've forgotten how they all work when new, but this battery seems to throw a LOT more power than I expected to the engine to start it up on even the coldest days so far this year. If this battery can perform at this level for a couple years, it'll have been the best battery I've ever bought. At this point though, expensive compared to the "el cheapo" brands you may find at walmart, but worth it knowing it's got the juice to get it done.

Needed a new battery after 5 years and wanted something that would stay charged up since i don't use the truck every day. Spins the engine even on the coldest day like it was summer. Also have an electric snow plow lift that challenges normal batteries. So far I'm pleased with my purchase, came as advertised and took less than a week to get it.


5 out of 5 stars Not good for leaving connected   April 19, 2010

Slow drain kills these batteries. The manufacturer knows this. If you keep this battery unhooked, except when you use it, it'll work well.
Best amp level I've ever seen, lasts forever if you leave it unhooked. But DO NOT LEAVE IT in a car for long slow drain
or it will fail. and it will fail faster than the cheapest battery you can buy. And the manufacturer is aware of this and will lie and refuse
your warranty request.



5 out of 5 stars Very Good...   August 30, 2009

I now own 2 of these.
The first one I bought at Sears(they no longer stock them). Most people want a cheap replacement battery.
The first one I still have and is still going strong after 8 years.
The one I bought from Amazon just over a year ago, is in my newer truck.
The two things I like the most about these is-
1) They don't leak acid.
2) Will last up to 3 times longer then a standard battery (if taken care of).

5 out of 5 stars Time will tell!   September 15, 2009

Installed this in my Suburban after years of returning several dead Wal Mart top of the line units. Although covered under warranty it got to be a pain. Seems to start vehicle faster and easier! Since this is an item that takes time to properly evaluate I will check back in a few years. TIME WILL TELL!
