    Re: What is wrong with my battery?

    I need to get a new battery now too. So you guys say don't get an Optima, but anything else from either walmart or candian tire will suffice?

      Optimas are good batteries. I wouldn't say don't get one, its just that a cheap battery in a gasser under normal use last for a pretty long time and will crank in pretty cold temps. An Optima isn't always justifiable.

              Costco has good stuff with good warranties. So does Battery World.

              I just buy the ones with the highest reserve capacity and highest cold cranking amps.

                        the batery you need is from a real optima dealer and is the sc34r . it fits the closest to oem batery for optima . i can get the cover to fit still but its a trick .
