New Battery - which brand??

xTIMMYxCOREx · 09-22-2014, 05:36 PM

The Everstart Max lists as 640 Cold Cranking Amps. The OEM one is listed as 700 Cold Cranking Amps. The Optima Redtop is 720 Cold Cranking Amps. Is it really worth the extra money for the Optima? and wouldn't that Walmart one be too little power really? Any thoughts on that?

My 11lbs $60 battery from autozone for a snow mobile or something has only 200-300 I think and has been fine for over a year plus a cold *** ohio winter. No battery's worth more money as Kenwood pointed out they're all the same with just a different label.

I am having issues with the Walmart battery and my Remote Start system. Guess it draws too much power. The installer recommended I go with the OEM battery as it had more power.

optima batteries are dry cell type. which means they last longer than regular batteries. I dont mind paying extra 100 bucks for battery that is going to last longer.

PS: My 370z OEM battery died on me 2 weeks ago, jump start then i went to advanced auto part store and got me an optima red battery. My previous car (350z) had an optima yellow, never had a problem with the battery. Had that battery for 6.5 years and during winter time i never had problem with start the car (last winter temp went down to -20F)

sorry for my grammar!!
