I AGREE! You want a real battery? Buy an Optima. I have 2 in the Jeep and once left all the lights on for an entire business day in Blizzard conditions in Detroit and did not even have to use the 2nd one to start it (it didn't even turn over slow)! I also can drive the car (and have) off the starter and not worry about the battery losing juice. Another nice thing is that they are not a liquid acid, but a gel (much safer). I think they also have an 8 or 10 year warranty. Enough said.

I left my car out in the cold for two days during our recent NE snow incident. When I went to start it up.. no problem. Started the first time. I have also made my own 'Massive Overkill Wiring' system which might also be helping. The only time I had a problem was when my Clifford alarm went haywire and started draining the battery overnight (damn installers!). I fixed the alarm problem and Interstate gave me a replacement battery and eveything has been great since. -Larry 91 GTI 16V - Optimized At 02:47 PM 1/27/00 -0500, Williams, Chris (RSCH) wrote: >I don't know if that's true.
