Owner reviews for battery

The battery is very clean and the original Varta and the box is in tact. Car has about 42K on it, and has been in service for less than 3 yrs.

I am running a a second battery, Stinger SPV 44 ( I think thats the model) but I am doing mostly for my system.

I used to have a red top optima in my race truck for vibration reasons but for this car I wanted something that would run the compressors (if needed) subs, etc.... while the car wasn't running and still have the balls to kick the motor over for a start. That is why I went with the yellow top, kinda like a deep cycle for your car. You can drain the hell outta it and it will still start your car for you. That and it last two times longer than your conventional battery.

optimas are good. thats what i use

I bought a Bosch 48-700B from Pep Boys. The guy that helped me knew a lot about batteries and looked up the right one in the computer without any problem.

I've been using a Duralast battery for the past 2 years with no problems...

I had the ETX14 in my N/A R32 for over 2 years and only time it really drains down is short starts and stops from the afterrun coolant pumps running for 5 minutes.

Mine went at 32K...just crapped out on me one morning. Luckily I work part-time at a Tire/Battery Garage. Put in an Energizer group size 47 (as stated above)

I had the yellow top in my 97 and It was nothing but problems, I know that doesnt help you answer your questions... Just saying

They are not worth the money, I work at a local auto parts store and have Two Red Top Batteries sitting on my battery pallet waiting to be shipping out and recycled. If that Red top wasn't made in Colorado, it's junk.
