Thank You...William

I just want an upgrade to a performance battery

maybe the SVR,or and other performance battery and I need some online places to get them..

 

You have to go for the Yellow top. Pep Boys sells them. I was surprised.

 

Yellow is the best battery curently out peiriod.

 

Will, get the yellow top.

red is for cold cranking, you won't need in Metter.
blue is deep cell if you run your stereo system w/ the car off.
yellow has the highest constant output.

paint the yellow part blue, or make a cover like mine.

later
happy new year

what'd you use to make the cover? thanks

 

I spoke to an Optima rep at SEMA about this and he said that the Yellow Top is the ideal battery it you play the stereo with the engine off a lot, and it can crank the car just as easily as the others. The Yellow Top is a deep-cycle battery that can be drained and recharged many more times than the others can.

 

thanks guys the yellow top it is then.....


Maxima.org members....the best...on the net in support!

 

I guess that decides it for me too! Another item for the 2002 overhaul list.

 

where can i find the best prices?

 

I agree. I've had mine for about three years, and I've never had a problem. It's great.

 

Yellow Top, love mine, it rocks.

I remember having a slight fitting issue, but relatively easy to fix.

 

I love my Yellow Top

 

I just wish there was a really light weight battery that worked liked the rest LOL

 

If storage space isn't a big concern, you can always relocate it to the trunk.

 

I'm thinking that the Red Top is the best choice for me since I still have my stock POS stereo and live in NJ where it gets cold!

I got the yellow top last summer... I live in NJ (harsh winters and hot summers), I play my stereo alot with my car off, had underbody neons and interior neons hooked up.. the battery is AWESOME

 

There is a tiny, but powerful, battery, but I can't remember the brand name. Andi had one in his Maxima. It was about 1/4th the size of a regular battery. Does anyone remember it? I think Cattman sold them. You could see if he still gets them.

 

Svr used to make them. I have one. Now they make them biger though.

 

I don't know about SVR's batteries, but that wasn't the brand I was thinking of.

 

Imagine how good your engine bay will look with the yellow top & the yellow hoses!
