[QUOTE="AphexTwin, post: 2142472, member: 568703"] So i bought a yellowtop at costco today for $140. The sticker on it says 07/06. So im guessing its been on the shelf for 2-3 months. What do you recommend i do? Stick it in the car for like an hour b4 i turn on my stereo? Also i know they say "maintinence free" but besides cleaning the terminals what else should i do? Im running about 2000 watts and i know i never really pull that much even at close to full volume, but how long can i run this battery with the engine off b4 it would need to be jump-started? Any tips for owning 1 of these would help... ohh its a standard 34/78 YT Voltage 12v Cold Cranking Amps @ 0F 750 Cranking Amps @ 32F 870 Reserve Capacity 120 Capacity (C/20 Rate) 55 Internal Resistance (ohms) .0028 [/QUOTE]
