Have one in my car now. Put it in with just a 1/0 wire from the alt to batt (havnt finished the big 3 yet) and volts went from 13.6 to 14.1 at idle with everything in the car on, no stereo in yet (may have been 13.8 to 14.1 cant remember). Had one in my truck and left the hood open (underhood light on) and dome light on from mon night to fri night, opened the garage up, lights looked a lil dim but it fired up like a brand new battery.

NAPA sells them under their name too. I work at a shop so if I have a bad one I just call and they deliver one to me.

ok cool, thanks guys, my local shop suggested for me to look at these batteries as opposed to Optima due to quality issues that Optima was having.

only problem i may have is the battery fitting snugly since it is not the same exact size as my factory battery.

What car? They have 2 sizes that will fit pretty much everything except some imports.

yea, you may have to get a universal battery tray and try to make something if it doesnt fit. IIRC they come in 2 or 3 sizes though, one should be close.
