Battery Varta or ODYSSEY
Same here. Mine is about half the size as Tachy's. Have mine in the spare tire well. No problems, other than giving it a charge when the car sits. I run a 400w amp too.
I have this one (or one very similar to it; forgot the model #). I have a metal sleeve/box that is slides into that is bolted down. Had it for over 3 years and it's still going strong.
The cells on the original Varta battery have 6 caps, 5 of which are located under the stickers on the battery. Peel the stickers off. Your dealer hasn't been doing this right. Now, put on some goggles and some gloves. Take a quarter and turn out each cell cap and set them aside, someplace clean and someplace that you wouldn't want damaged by battery acid. Just a precaution. Look inside each cell. You should see the vertical plates, and they should be completely immersed in water- submerged about 1/4\". If not, add distilled water unto each cell until they are as such. It'll take only a couple of ounces.
i also used an odyssey battery that was 14lbs and 55 dollars and never had a problem starting even in fridgid temps. braille is all hype and a name.
