Time for Fresh Battries

[Loose Deuce]

What are you guys doing about battery replacement ? I have two NAPA Battries that have finally gave up and dont want to pay $450.00 or more for another set. I've havent been visiting the forum lately so I probably have missed a lot.

Ive got 2 31 series from Sams. About 100 clams each. And, Energizers to boot!

I use cheapo batteries from Wal-Mart. I can look at them tomorrow if you want.

Just get whatever fits and is at least 700 CCA. I think mine are 750 or 850 CCA.

I used cheap Costco batteries and Optima Redtops. I will never buy a set of 6TL's especially if they are made my Interstate (6 bad so far)!

Yup, 1000cca batterys from Costco. Under $100 bucks each.

Those are the most in depth-in between those few threads, there are probably 20 pages worth of posts with people offering up what they use, how they mounted them in the box, what they cost, etc.

I haven't had any luck with ANY Interstate battery.

NAPA has 6TL s for 185 each or I just use any 850 CCA and make them fit

I have a BD (Battery Dude) that gets big BLEMS and sell them to me for less than 50 bucks (without exchange) I think they are 850 CCA.....in Alabama winter they never fail to start a deuce.
Look for an independent battery distributor in your area.

I just got the Walmart $77 dollar 65N? batteries 1000CA/ 850CCA after several bad experiences with the NAPA Legend series group 31 - Low CCA and continual dead cells, not to mention Walmart has the 3 year free replacement compared to the 18 month pro rated "deals" out there... Not lucky enough to have a BD..
