NEED NEW BATTERY: What batteries are you guys runnin

[skrilla22 10+ year member]

I run an optima YT. Does alright with 120 amp stock alt and big 3, but lights still dim a bit on 1.5kw. As soon as i get some cash i think i might try a couple deka's, heard good things about them.

G.D. those are some expenseive *** batteries....i think optima is the way to go, sizing up the competition... Unfortunately the only one they make to fit my car is only 650CCA, so AFTER upgrading my alt, can I just get a batcap800 or something???

just because it "doesn't fit" doesn't mean you can't make it fit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i've had good luck with optima and kinetic... i have one YT under the hood, a kinetic hc2000 in back and a 90a alt (for now). my voltage actually stays above 13v unless my radio is realllly cranked up... and that's with an mm3000.1 at .5 ohm and a kicker zx650.4...
