Weird day working on car... [Optima Input Inside]

Okay,


Battery was about to die and one headlight was flickering [see my other post about the bulb connectors].


I finally went to Autozone and I bought the Red Top 35/75 and a pair of Sylvania Silvertar (i thought it could be the bulb going bad).

I was planning on ONLY working on the bulb, because battery was still working and I wanted to go to the gymn before 8pm. Well, I left the lights on for about 5 minutes so I could play around with the connectors and try to detect the problem. When I was done testing the headlight, I went inside to wash my hands and get ready to leave but...


Battery just totally went bad on me after having the headlights on for 5 minutes! I was thren forced to swap the batteries, and I was surprised it took me only about 10 minutes.

100% perfect fit, 100% easy to install, and 100% stronger than old bastard battery.


Just one input for those running on old battery and debating on wether get a new or not.


for new battery!

Yeah, if you still had your original battery, feel lucky it worked this long. Mine went out last summer, which I thought was a long time. You don't know what you're missing until you've swapped. Good job!

It was the original battery... and to be quite honest, it was handling pretty well... but I went away in january for a whole month and it was freezing winter and it drained my battery... and then I went away again in march for 2 weeks and it was tough on it again...


Well... at least i can have my radio on whenever i want now!
