370Z Battery Life Expectancy

i had a yellow top on one of my earlier hobby cars and the cca was kinda weak vs regular batteries. honestly those batteries including the red tops are overrated.

just get a decent car battery and maintain it. no need to pay premium price.

they are not overrated, dry cell batteries will last from 5-12 years as compared to a wet cell that will last from 3-5 years, have more power in cold temperatures, and can be stored longer will less loss of power. so yeah I dont mind paying 100-150 bucks more for a battery.

ps: yellow top optima battery is rated at 620cca, thats good enough for our cars.
